چکیده

Small-angle light-scattering patterns of human cornea in I. and I modes were compared to theoretical scattering patterns generated in the computer on the basis of a cornea model. This model is a nonrandom assembly of optically anistropic rods. The best match of theoretical and experimental patterns yielded the following parameters describing the ultrastructure of human cornea: length of the rod (fiber)=12 mu; angle between optic and geometric axis of the rod=60 degrees; most probable orientation of the rod=150 degree; the width of the distribution function of rod orientation (omega0)=2.5; intrinsic birefringence of the rod=7 X 10(-6); form birefringence=1.3 X 10(-5).

Rapid simulation of wide-angle scattering from mitochondria in single cells.

It has been shown that the mitochondria are the dominant source of large-angle light scattering from human cells. In the limit of small mitochondria, we show that the large-angle (isotropic) light scattering of mitochondria may be analyzed and simulated with an adaptation of classical X-ray diffraction theory. In addition, we show that this approach may be extended to the case of anisotropic sc...

Anisotropic Small Angle Light and Neutron Scattering from a Lyotropic Lamellar Phase under Shear

The influence of shear on the lamellar phase of a semi-dilute solution (36il (w /w) of tetra ethylenglycol dodecylether (CH3[CH2]11 [OCH2CH2]40H, C12E4) in water was investigated by Small Angle Light Scattering (SALS), Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) and rheology. A plateau modulus was determined by low amplitude oscillatory shear experiments. A strong scattering peak perpendicular to the...
