摘要: The total strain birefringence of F-actin isolated from chicken gizzards was measured as a function elongation in thin transparent films. Each film held at certain jig allowed to swell penetrating but nondissolving liquid. Seven liquids with different refractive indices were employed. thickness the each swelling liquid obtained once equilibrium established. At elongation, 0 16%, Wiener curve obtained. minima curves yielded intrinsic elongation. increases up above which films break. form set index also implication is discussed it affects optical properties, mainly light scattering, tissues such fiber cells lens eye.
