The revised Ohshiro compound light apple, modified from the original Ohshiro laser apple, showing the range of bioreactions (denoted by different light apples, namely the AcApple, WeApple, PbApple, PcApple, VaApple and CaApple), associated temperatures and light scatter in tissue from a surgical laser beam. Note that the divisions are not cut and dried, and there will always be some overlap between each stage and the next, and that other nonthermal HLLT reactions may also occur, such as photoacoustic and photo-osmotic effects.
