Changes in autofluorescence in the skin induced by hydration of the stratum corneum
The autofluorescence of the skin is known to originate form several different fluorphores located at different locations in the skin. The autofluorescence spectrum measured at the surface of the skin ...

Subsurfacephotodisruption is shown to be an effective tool for cuttingbeneath the surface in human sclera. Using a dehydrating agentto reduce scattering by index matching, photodistruption is possible anywherein the volume of the sclera. We examine incision inhuman sclera in vitro using scanning electron microscopy. We founda disorganized material filling the incision and penetrating into theadjacent tissue.
