We use the theoretical formalism in this method to process experimental data obtained from colorectal muscle samples to evaluate and characterize the dehydration and refractive index matching mechanisms.engColorectal muscleKinetics of optical propertiesOptical clearingRefractive index kineticsjournal article10.1109/JSTQE.2018.2840346
