Abstract

Safety guidelines for human exposure to millimeter waves are based on ocular effects (ICNIRP, Health Physics, vol.74, p.494-522, 1999; IEEE C95.1, 1999). Few biological studies on ocular effects of millimeter waves have, however, been reported (Rosenthal, et al., 1976; Kues, H.A., et al., 1999; Chalfin, et al., 2002; Mic, 1908). Because various millimeter-wave applications will be available for public use in the near future, it is necessary to increase our biological knowledge of the ocular effects of millimeter-wave exposure. The paper describes the development of a setup to investigate the effect of millimeter-wave exposure on rabbit eyes.
