A) Binarized μCT slice corresponding to the central slice of a MIP located in the center of the LC used in the DIC calculation. B) Comparison of in-plane strain components (Exx
,Eyy, Exy ) computed by DIC and DVC, averaged over the region outlined in yellow in panel A, which corresponds to the LC tissue region. The error bars represent the standard deviation of the strain component over the region of interest. C) Contours of the in-plane strain components calculated by DIC. D) Contours of the in-plane strain components calculated by DVC corresponding to the location of the central slice of the MIP used for DIC analysis in panel C. Although strains were not identical on a voxel-by-voxel basis, there was good spatial agreement between regions of high and low strain computed by DIC and DVC. The ventral groove, the pial septa, and the sclera were masked in C and D. The position of the ventral groove (Inferior pole) is shown in A.
