Using an objective-typed TIRF microscopy, cells were imaged in an anodized aluminum imaging chamber filled with MES buffer (described above) through a coverslip with a refractive index of 1.78.
Total internal reflection occurs when light travelling in a medium with high refractive index encounters a medium with low refractive index beyond the critical angle, determined by the ratio of the two refractive indices according to the Snell's law [ 28 ] . In our experiments, the coverslip and the cells represent the media with high and low refractive indices, respectively.
The major remaining drawback of the PALM as well as of similar PTK techniques [ 15 ] in order to obtain an optimal refractive result is the accurate centration and placement of the molding lens for the proper formation of the lenticule before irradiation.
The excimer laser ablation is currently widely used primarily to correct refractive errors by altering the anterior curvature of the cornea.
Synthetic yttrium aluminum garnets (YAGs) are favored by jewelers and their public because the high refractive index of the gem approaches that of diamond, at a fraction of the cost.
