Optical properties of in situ eye lenses measured with X-ray Talbot interferometry: a novel measure of growth processes.

The lens, a major optical component of the eye, has a gradient refractive index, which is required to provide sufficient refractive power and image quality. The refractive index variations across the lens are dependent on the distributions and concentrations of the varying protein classes. In this s...
