Assessing corneal biomechanics with Brillouin spectro-microscopy.
A new Brillouin spectro-microscope was designed and built to investigate the mechanical properties of bovine and human corneas. This instrument integrates a single-stage virtually imaged phased array spectrometer with a novel adaptive-optics interferometric filter to achieve unprecedented rejection of the elastic background signal. As a result, highly-resolved, reproducible data from both thin ...
متن کاملUltrasonic micro-elastography on assessing corneal biomechanics
The cornea, the window of the eye, provides approximately two-thirds of the total refractive power. The unique set of corneal biomechanical properties determined by its complex structure plays an important role in maintaining corneal function and human vision system [1]. Many factors, like ageing, trauma, diseases or clinical refractive surgery would affect the corneal biomechanics and finally ...
متن کاملCorrigendum: Biomechanics of subcellular structures by non-invasive Brillouin microscopy
Cellular biomechanics play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of several diseases. Unfortunately, current methods to measure biomechanical properties are invasive and mostly limited to the surface of a cell. As a result, the mechanical behaviour of subcellular structures and organelles remains poorly characterised. Here, we show three-dimensional biomechanical images of single cells obtained...
متن کاملAssessing diabetic neuropathy using corneal confocal microscopy.
N europathy is a frequent complication of diabetes and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, potentially affecting distal sensory, motor, and autonomic nerves. Sequelae of diabetic neuropathy (DN) include foot ulceration, which can lead to the devastating consequence of lower limb amputation. Accurate and timely detection, characterization, and quantification of DN are critical in order ...
متن کاملBiomechanics of the anterior human corneal tissue investigated with atomic force microscopy.
PURPOSE To investigate the biomechanics of the anterior human corneal stroma using atomic force microscopy (AFM). METHODS AFM measurements were performed in liquid on the anterior stroma of human corneas, after gently removing the epithelium, using an atomic force microscope in the force spectroscopy mode. Rectangular silicon cantilevers with tip radius of 10 nm and spring elastic constants o...
