Transmission and Absorption Coefficients for Ocular Media of the Rhesus Monkey

Abstract

Tissue transmissivity and absorption coefficients were calculated for components of the refractive media, distilled water, and physiological saline throughout the wavelength interval of 0.2-15 micrometer. All transmission measurements required for these calculations were performed spectrophotometrically using freshly enucleated rhesus monkey eyes and narrow- bandwidth radiation. Much of the absorption coefficient data presented is from wavelength regions where values have not been previously reported.
