The design of a computer-controlled laser scanning microscope is described. It is capable of inspecting a 1 mm × 1 mm area in less than 1 s with an optical resolution of 2 µm. Three applications of the laser scanning microscope are presented: the observation of the ferroelectric-domain structure of sodium nitrite layers, the observation of the spatial distribution of the photocurrent in polycrystalline solar cells, and the observation of the lateral distribution of thermoelectric currents in a thermal IR detector for the determination of the thermal properties of its absorber foil.

In order to improve local tumor control in advanced head and neck tumors, a temporary interstitial iridium-192 implantation (40 to 50 cGy/h) was performed as a boost therapy (20 to 30 Gy at the surface of the target volume). This treatment was part of a multimodal therapy conception for primary tumors (N = 55) as well as for recurrences (N = 22). Local control was achieved in 89% (49/55) of patients treated for primary tumors.
