Optical microscopy is an indispensable diagnostic tool in modern healthcare. As a prime
example, pathologists rely exclusively on light microscopy to investigate tissue morphology …

Optical spectroscopy and imaging approaches offer the potential to noninvasively assess
different aspects of the cellular, extracellular matrix, and scaffold components of engineered …

The field of optical metrology offers a wealth of both practical and theoretical
accomplishments, and can cite any number of academic papers recording such. However …

We report the phenomenon of ultra-enhanced backscattering of visible light by nanoparticles
facilitated by the 3-D photonic nanojet??? a sub-diffraction light beam appearing at the …

A flexible and fast Monte Carlo-based model of diffuse reflectance has been developed for
the extraction of the absorption and scattering properties of turbid media, such as human …

We measure the organization and substructure of HT29 epithelial cells in a monolayer using
angle-resolved low-coherence interferometry. This new technique probes cellular structure …

Identifying prostate cancer patients that are harboring aggressive forms of prostate cancer
remains a significant clinical challenge. Here we develop an approach based on …

We outline the process for determining the morphology of subsurface epithelial cell nuclei
using depth-resolved light scattering measurements. The measurements are accomplished …

We use fractal continuous random media to model visible and near-infrared light scattering
by biological tissue and cell suspensions. The power law of the reduced scattering …

We present a novel instrument to measure the spectral, angular, azimuthal, and polarization
dependence of light backscattered by living biological tissues, thus providing the most …
