Abstract

Our experiments were designed to obtain evidence on the following points :- (1) In what amount do the infra-red radiations of different wave-length gain access to the deeper structures of the eye, the lens being particularly considered? (2) What percentage of these radiations is absorbed in transmission through the lens?
