We have examined the light-scattering properties of inhomogeneous biological cells through
a combination of theoretical simulations and goniometric measurements. A finite-difference …

We combine the finite-difference time-domain method with pulse response techniques in
order to calculate the light scattering properties of biological cells over a range of …

The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique is used to compute light scattering from
biological cells in two dimensions. Results are presented for the computed scattering …

When a biological cell is illuminated with laser light, the light is scattered in all directions to
form a light-scattering pattern, which is dependent on the size and internal structure of the …

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 …

This dissertation presents an examination of the scattering properties of inhomogeneous
cells with application to high resolution reflectance imaging of tissue. Previously, the solution …

As part of our ongoing efforts to understand the fundamental nature of light scattering from
cells and tissues, we present data on elastic light scattering from isolated mammalian tumor …

The differential scattered light intensity patterns of spherical mammalian cells were
measured with a new photometer which uses high-speed film as the light detector. The …

The light scattered by living biological cells (assumed homogeneous spheres with a relative
refractive index, m= 1.05) at small angles has been calculated by the Hodkinson …

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