Figure 6

(A) Fundus photograph taken 3 days after intravitreal injection of type B oxidised porous Si particles. Whitish aggregates of the particles can be observed suspended in the centre of the vitreous above the optic nerve (arrow). (B) Fundus photograph of a rabbit eye 2 months after intravitreal injection. The particles are dispersed, with a yellowish appearance (arrows). (C) Fundus photograph of a rabbit eye 5 months after intravitreal injection. Many of the particles have degraded; however, some greyish particles are still observed in the very inferior vitreous (arrow). (D) Light-microscopic photograph of the retina and choroid from a rabbit eye harvested 8 months after intravitreal injection. Normal chorioretinal morphology and structures are observed except for the artificial retinal detachment (asterisk) (62.5×, H&E staining).
