FIGURE 5 . Relative changes (expressed as % of intact skin value) of epidermal (a,b,c) and dermal (d,e,f) scattering anisotropy factor g epidermis andg dermis, caused by the in vivo skin optical clearing protocol as a function of time (OA – oleic acid; PG - propylene glycol; PEG - polyethylene glycol; DMSO - dimethyl sulfoxide). Standard deviation bars were removed to keep data legible.
TABLE 2 . Mean standard deviation (SD, expressed as % of data) over 10 experimental time points representing the variation between three volunteers with respect to estimated optical property, skin layer and OCA used.
