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 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 کاملIn vivo Brillouin optical microscopy of the human eye
We report the first Brillouin measurement of the human eye in vivo. We constructed a Brillouin optical scanner safe for human use by employing continuous-wave laser light at 780 nm at a low power of 0.7 mW. With a single scan along the optic axis of the eye, the axial profile of Brillouin frequency shift was obtained with a pixel acquisition time of 0.4 s and axial resolution of about 60 μm, sh...
متن کاملSmoking and corneal biomechanics.
Dear Editor: Changes in the biomechanical properties of the human cornea play an important role in the pathogenesis of corneal dystrophies such as pellucid marginal corneal degeneration and keratoconus. The latter primarily affects young people and is a leading cause of severe visual impairment. Keratoconus is characterized by weakened corneal biomechanics that leads to progressive bulging and ...
متن کاملCorneal biomechanics - a review.
PURPOSE In recent years, the interest in corneal biomechanics has strongly increased. The material properties of the cornea determine its shape and therefore play an important role in corneal ectasia and related pathologies. This review addresses the molecular origin of biomechanical properties, models for their description, methods for their characterisation, techniques for their modification,...
