Optical properties of biological tissues, such as refractive index (RI), are fundamental properties, intrinsically linked to the tissue's composition and structure. We hypothesize that, as the RI and the functional properties of articular cartilage (AC) are dependent on the tissue's structure and composition, the RI of AC is related to its biomechanical properties.
