Fig. 6

(A) Scanning electron microscopy image of the explanted Carlevale IOL (FIL SSF, Soleko IOL Division, Italy) shows a peripheral rim of sodium chloride (from the saline solution) and crystallites of HAP on the anterior surface. (B) Scanning electron microscopy image shows a higher magnification of the calcific deposits shown in image A. (C and D) Energy-dispersive x-ray analysis, including surface formation, exhibiting peaks corresponding to the calcium and phosphorus of the calcific deposits. (D) Shows a line-scan elemental microanalysis over the length of the arrow line C. The horizontal axis shows the length scale of microanalysis, and the Y axis shows the relative intensity of the dispersive energy of X-rays emitted by the elements present in the deposit
