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

We investigate anisotropic light propagation in biological tissue in steady-state and time
domains. Monte Carlo simulations performed for tissue that consists of aligned cylindrical …

A newly designed instrument, the static light-scattering (SLS) microscope, which combines
light microscopy with SLS, enables us to characterize local light-scattering patterns of thin …

Optical methods for monitoring physiological tissue state are important and useful because
they are non-invasive and sensitive. Experimental measurements of the full scattering profile …

We introduce a geometrical anisotropy parameter in the power spectrum of soft biological
tissue and study its effects on the statistics of light beams propagating in it, in addition to the …

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

Light propagation in multi-layered tissues was studied theoretically and experimentally on a
rabbit thigh and on human forearms. Theoretical investigations were based on a special …

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 …

The optical properties of different types of tissue were measured in the wavelength range
330-1100 nm. The measurements were carried out in native as well as in coagulated …

Spatially resolved reflectance measurements are widely used for determination of the optical
properties of biological media. However, the influence of the phase function on these …
