Lenticular scattered and fluorescent light: biomicroscopic determination of their relative proportions.
Lenticular fluorescence was separated from scattered light using slit-lamp photography through two different spectral filters. The results from 10 subjects indicate that the cortex and nucleus show different rates of age-related change in fluorescence. Evidence was obtained for the presence of more than one fluorophor.
