Figure 1. Wavelength dependence of the normalised optical density for individual bovine corneal stromas equilibrated at 154 mm NaCl.
Stromal hydration varied from 3.1 to 3.4, with an average of 3.19 ± 0.06. The absorption spectra of oxidised (straight line) and reduced (dotted line) cytochrome c are shown for a comparison (from Stryer, 1981).
