Both egg white and egg yolk are excellent media for studying photocoagulation due to thermal response of tissue to laser light. They are readily available, consistently the same, and provide a standard biological medium for different labs to compare results. The irradiation parameters for laser coagulation of these media depend upon their optical properties and their temperature‐dependent rate reactions. Estimates of the rate process damage coefficients were obtained from constant‐temperature water bath experiments. The activation energy E for egg white was estimated to be 92,000 (cal/(M*K)) and the integration constant A was found to be 3.8 × 10 57 (second −1 ).
