Light distributions from point, line and plane sources for photochemical reactions and fluorescence in turbid biological tissues.
نویسنده
چکیده
Light distributions in biological tissues are summarized in simple expressions for spherical, cylindrical and planar geometries due to point sources, line sources and planar sources. The goal is to provide workable tools for computing light distributions that govern the amount and distribution of photochemical reactions in experimental solutions, films and biological tissues. Diffusion theory expressions are compared with Monte Carlo simulations. Analytic expressions that mimic accurate Monte Carlo simulations are presented. Application to fluorescence measurements and prediction of necrotic zones in photodynamic therapy are outlined.

In order to evaluate the effects of both cold and light stresses on chlorophyll fluorescence and feasibility of using chlorophyll florescence technique to evaluate effect of light intensity on cold tolerance in soybean, an experiment was done in a factorial arrangement based on a completely randomized design with three replicates. Two soybean cultivars consisted of 032 and BP grown under greenh...
متن کاملUsing Temperature of IR Sources for Assessing Photochemical and Aphakic Retinal Hazard
Introduction Blue light is a part of the spectrum with the highest energy content, which can reach the retina. The damage that it can cause to the retina is called photochemical or blue-light retinal injury. For the retinal injury assessment of the photochemical and aphakic retinal hazards in the wavelength range of 300-700 nm, use of effective spectral radiance limits (W.m-2.sr-1) seems to be ...
متن کاملDynamic light sheet generation and fluorescence imaging behind turbid media
Background Light sheet microscopy became a popular tool allowing fast imaging with reduced out of focus light. However, when light penetrates turbid media such as biological tissues, multiple scattering scrambles the illumination into a speckle pattern and severely challenges conventional fluorescence imaging with focused light or with a light sheet. In this article, we present generation of li...

Accurate quantification of photosensitizers is in many cases a critical issue in photodynamic therapy. As a noninvasive and sensitive tool, fluorescence imaging has attracted particular interest for quantification in pre-clinical research. However, due to the absorption of excitation and emission light by turbid media, such as biological tissue, the detected fluorescence signal does not have a ...
