Fig. 8.

Spectral distribution of absolute transmittance from stacked corneal stromal tissues (S-SLATEs). A) Transmittance of light between 300 and 1050 nm measured from tissues obtained through stacking of 5 individual A- or R-SLATEs (black and red line, respectively). Detailed profiles of transmittance at B) 300–380 nm (near-UV), C) visible light (380–780 nm), and D) near-IR (780–1050 nm). Quantification (average ± S.D.) was performed from three individual measurements per sample.
