Characterizing depth-dependent refractive index of articular cartilage subjected to mechanical wear or enzymic degeneration
Utilizing a laser scanning confocal microscope system, the refractive indices of articular cartilage (AC) with mechanical or biochemical degenerations were characterized to investigate whether potential correlations exist between refractive index (RI) and cartilage degeneration. The cartilage sample...
