ABSTRACT

Light and heat are key life factors, including at the cell level. However, while action of the heat factor has been studied at the level of a body or individual organs, then it has not been practically studied at the level of individual cells, and today, information on heat processes at the cell level and on the cell response to heat impact is practically unavailable. The goal of this work is to describe photo-induced thermal phenomena in an individual live cell at the theoretical and experimental levels. The work includes two parts: building a model of interaction of laser radiation with an individual cell, and analyzing possibility of appearance of photo-induced vapor bubbles.
