Already in 1914, Spalteholz reported for century ago. Neuronal tissue, like cortex, was the first time about a method for clarifying investigated in mice using a water-based tissues. Since then it was the aim of several optical clearing method termed See Deep investigators to look inside structures without Brain (SeeDB). However, although the eye opening them and therefore destroying their belongs to the central nervous system, this intrinsic anatomy by increasing transparency. histological technique was not applied in the For this purpose, it is necessary to minimize light eye up to date. We applied SeeDB for the scattering, which is caused by several internal visualization of intraocular structures. cellular structures (eg, membranes and nuclei) Patients and methods Four eyes of cornea and extracellular material (eg, extracellular donors (two male, two female: 73–84 years) matrix).
