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 …

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

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 …

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

A review of reported tissue optical properties summarizes the wavelength-dependent
behavior of scattering and absorption. Formulae are presented for generating the optical …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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

When a collimated beam of light encounters a system of biological cells or structures, part of
the light may be absorbed, part is scattered, and the rest is transmitted. Transmitted and …
