Optical property measurements on blood are influenced by a large variety of factors of both
physical and methodological origin. The aim of this review is to list these factors of influence …

In this paper transmittance predictions based on residual pore scattering in transparent
ceramics with cubic crystallites via Mie theory and its approximations (Rayleigh, Fraunhofer …

Skin is the outer-most tissue of the human body. As a result, people are very aware of, and
very sensitive to, the appearance of their skin. Consequently, skin appearance has been a …

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

Red blood cells (RBCs) must be highly deformable to transit through the microvasculature to
deliver oxygen to tissues. The loss of RBC deformability resulting from pathology, natural …

Elastic light scattering by mature red blood cells (RBCs) was theoretically and
experimentally analyzed by use of the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) and scanning …

We demonstrate the use of a double-beam optical tweezers system to stabilize red blood
cell (RBC) orientation in the optical tweezers during measurements of elastic light scattering …

The electromagnetic far field, as well as the near field, originating from light interaction with a
red blood cell (RBC) volume-equivalent spheroid, was analyzed by utilizing the T-matrix …

Physical principles of photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS), mathematical treatment of the
PCS data (converting autocorrelation functions to distribution functions or average …

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by decreased erythrocyte deformability,
microvessel occlusion and severe painful infarctions of different organs. Ektacytometry of …
