The Role of Endogenous Proteins on the Emulsification of Silicone Oils Used in Vitreoretinal Surgery

Figure 1

Time evolution of the dynamic IT of the SO-DPBS (black) and SO-water (blue) interfaces (left -axis). For the first 1800 s, the interfacial area is kept fixed. From there on, oscillations of the interfacial area with an amplitude of 2% are imposed, for a range of different frequencies. The green line represents the interfacial area variation in time (right -axis).
