Study of the cornea by Linear dichroism (LD) (CAT#: STEM-ST-0121-WXH)

Introduction

The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. Along with the anterior chamber and lens, the cornea refracts light, accounting for approximately two-thirds of the eye's total optical power.

Principle

Linear dichroism (LD) or diattenuation is the difference between absorption of light polarized parallel and polarized perpendicular to an orientation axis. It is the property of a material whose transmittance depends on the orientation of linearly polarized light incident upon it. LD measurements are based on the interaction between matter and light and thus are a form of electromagnetic spectroscopy.

Applications

Study the functionality and structure of molecules.

Materials

• Polarizer
• Absorbance spectrometer
