An understanding of the relationship between tissue structures and light scattering from
tissue will help facilitate the development and acceptance of noninvasive optical diagnostics …

We have studied the optical properties of mammalian cell suspensions to provide a
mechanistic basis for interpreting the optical properties of tissues in vivo. Measurements of …

We present a method for selective detection of size-dependent scattering characteristics of
epithelial cells in vivo based on polarized illumination and polarization sensitive detection of …

We report an in situ method of probing the structure of living epithelial cells, based on light
scattering spectroscopy with polarized light. The method makes it possible to distinguish …

We present the design and construction of a fiber optic probe for elastic light scattering
spectroscopy in vivo with polarized excitation and polarization sensitive detection. The …

We investigated the propagation of light in biological tissues that have aligned cylindrical
microstructures (eg, muscle, skin, bone, tooth). Because of pronounced anisotropic light …

Fiber-optic, polarized elastic-scattering spectroscopy techniques are implemented and
demonstrated as a method for determining both scatterer size and concentration in highly …

Optical contrast based on elastic scattering interactions between light and matter can be
used to probe cellular structure, cellular dynamics, and image tissue architecture. The …

We demonstrate that the effects of cell–cell contact and of changes in cell shape have only a
minor effect on the angular distribution of light scattering from mammalian fibroblast cells …

We employ Fourier-transform light scattering, a technique recently developed in our
laboratory, to study the scattering properties of rat organ tissues. Using the knowledge of the …
