Dear Professor Dua,

I read the paper of the sixth layer. I would use Brillouin microscopy to measure the biomechanical influence. The separation of this layer is difficult. If we can separate we can measure stress-strain like other layers as lens capsule.

With best wishes,

Eberhard Spoerl

Dear Eberhard Spoeri

We can separate the layer readily. We have recently sent six samples to a colleague to test for structure via x-ray diffraction. We should be able to send you samples if your can consider testing stress strain, tensile strength etc. Logistics can be worked out.

Best wishes and many thanks for your response. Much appreciated.

With regards

Harminder

Dear Professor Dua,

I hope that enclosed paper will be useful for raised question.

Taking this opportunity I would like to express my deep respect to you as an remarkable scientist, who discovered new corneal layer.

Wishing you continued fruiful work and prosperity,

Prof. Marianne Shahsuvaryan

Dear Marianne

Thank you very much for your answer and my apologies for this delayed response. I will look into this but this works in living eyes, not so sure about cadaver eyes and that too in a thin layer. But will try,

Many thanks

Harminder
