Instant polarized light microscopy pi (IPOLÏ€) image of pig optic nerve head. IPOLÏ€ presents collagen fiber architecture in a color snapshot without labels, stains, and image reconstruction.
ALT A coronal section of a pig optic nerve head imaged by instant polarized light microscopy pi (IPOLÏ€). IPOLÏ€ presents collagen fiber orientation and density in a color snapshot, with no need for labels, stains, or multiple image reconstruction. This color snapshot unveils the intricate collagen architecture within the optic nerve head, shedding light on the critical role of collagen in understanding ocular biomechanics.
