Figure 2

Emission spectra of a UV-irradiated (A) and normal porcine eye lens (B) measured at 305 nm (blue), 317 nm (green), 325 nm (red) 370 nm (cyan) excitation wavelengths. The respective normalised spectra of the normal and UV-irradiated lenses are shown in the Insets. Emission spectrum map of solubilised porcine lens after UV irradiation (C) and the insoluble fraction of an emulsified donor sample (NC++) (D) upon 300 nm (blue), 317 nm (green), 325 nm (red) 370 nm (cyan), 400 nm (magenta), 450 nm (yellow) and 500 nm (black) excitation wavelengths. Normalised spectra of the UV-irradiated and the emulsified lens (Insets).
