Abstract
An apparatus for the controlled generation of ultraviolet rays for a focused micro stimulation of cell structures. The apparatus comprises an ultraviolet ray beam generator, at a frequencies comprised between 200 and 400 nm; means for focusing a ray beam on a selected surface area of the cell structure, and a protective masking member in a non reflective material adhered to the cell structure; the masking member comprises at least one perforated zone to expose the selected surface area of the cell structure, to be stimulated by the focused ray beam, and a programmable control unit for metering the ultraviolet energy of the generator radiated on the selected area during a period of time.
