Light scattering by multiple red blood cells.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The interaction of light with multiple red blood cells was systematically investigated by the finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD). The simulations showed that the lateral multiple scattering between red blood cells is very weak and that the polarization has an almost insignificant influence on the distribution of the scattered light. The numerical results of the FDTD method were compared with the results from the Rytov approximation and the discrete dipole approximation (DDA). The agreement with the DDA was excellent.

Modelling and rapid simulation of multiple red blood cell light scattering.
The goal of this work is to develop a computational framework to rapidly simulate the light scattering response of multiple red blood cells. Because the wavelength of visible light (3.8 x 10(-7) m < or = lambda < or = 7.2 x 10(-7) m) is approximately an order of magnitude smaller than the diameter of a typical red blood cell scatterer (d approximately 8 x 10(-6) m), geometric ray-tracing theory...
متن کاملTheoretical models for near forward light scattering by a Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cell
A number of experimental elastic light scattering studies have been performed in the past few years with the aim of developing automated in vivo tools for differentiating a healthy red blood cell from a Plasmodium falciparum infected cell. This paper examines some theoretical aspects of the problem. An attempt has been made to simulate the scattering patterns of healthy as well as infected indi...
متن کاملStatic Laser Light Scattering Studies from Red Blood Cells
A homemade Static Light scattering studies has been used to determine angle resolved scattered intensity for different polarization states of the incident laser light. Classical light scattering set ups are being used to study morphological aspects of scatterers using simple set ups using low power lasers. Red blood cells form rather interesting as well as a challenging system for scattering ex...
متن کاملLight scattering of human red blood cells during metabolic remodeling of the membrane.
We present the light scattering properties of individual human red blood cells (RBCs). We show that both the RBC static and dynamic scattering signals are altered by adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP)-driven membrane metabolic remodeling. To measure the light scattering signal from individual RBCs, we use diffraction phase microscopy together with a Fourier transform light scattering technique. RB...
متن کاملStatic and dynamic light scattering of healthy and malaria-parasite invaded red blood cells.
We present the light scattering of individual Plasmodium falciparum-parasitized human red blood cells (Pf-RBCs), and demonstrate progressive alterations to the scattering signal arising from the development of malaria-inducing parasites. By selectively imaging the electric fields using quantitative phase microscopy and a Fourier transform light scattering technique, we calculate the light scatt...
