..., such as contrast behavior and bioanatomical and biomechanical properties represent, thus, useful prerequisites for successful macular surgery. New analytical tools, such as atomic force microscopy and chromaticity analysis, allow new insights into ILM material characteristics, permitting a systematic approach...
