Fractal mechanisms of light scattering in biological tissue and cells.
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 coefficient, the anisotropy factor of scattering, and the phase function are derived with good agreement with experimental results. Implications for spectroscopic tissue diagnosis are discussed.
متن کاملLight Scattering by Fractal Aggregates: A Review
This paperpresents areviewof scatteringandabsorptionof light by fractal aggregates. The aggregates are typically diffusion limited cluster aggregates (DLCA) with fractal dimensions of D ’ 1:75, which occur frequently in aerosols and colloids, but other types of aggregates are discussed as well. The results of the review are quite general. A scaling description of the scattering of waves forms t...
متن کاملDynamic light scattering from colloidal fractal monolayers.
We address experimentally the problem of how the structure of a surface monolayer determines the viscoelasticity of the interface. Optical microscopy and surface quasielastic light scattering have been used to characterize aggregation of CaCO3 particles at the air-water interface. The structures formed by cluster-cluster aggregation are two-dimensional fractals that grow to eventually form a pe...
متن کاملLight propagation in biological tissue.
Biological tissue scatters light mainly in the forward direction where the scattering phase function has a narrow peak. This peak makes it difficult to solve the radiative transport equation. However, it is just for forward-peaked scattering that the Fokker-Planck equation provides a good approximation, and it is easier to solve than the transport equation. Furthermore, the modification of the ...
متن کاملThe physical basis of transparency in biological tissue: ultrastructure and the minimization of light scattering
In the open ocean, many animals are highly transparent, some achieving near invisibility. However, little is known about how this transparency is attained. The effects of cellular ultrastructure on tissue transparency were mathematically modeled. Given a specific constant volume or surface area of a higher refractive index material (e.g. protein, lipid, etc.), within a lower refractive index cy...
