LIGHT SCATTERING FROM A CELL -- MODELING OF LIGHT SCATTERING FROM INHOMOGENEOUS BIOLOGICAL CELLS -- ANGULARLY RESOLVED ELASTIC SCATTERING FROM AIRBORNE PARTICLES -- BIO-AEROSOL FLUORESCENCE -- OPTICAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF SELECTED PHYTOPLANKTONIC COMMUNITIES -- ASTRO-BIOLOGICAL SIGNATURES -- MODELING OF LIGHT SCATTERING BY SINGLE RED BLOOD CELLS WITH THE FDTD METHOD -- OPTICS OF ERYTHROCYTES -- OPTICS OF PLATELETS -- OPTICS OF LEUCOCYTES.
This book covers the optics of single biological particles, both theory and experiment, with emphasis on Elastic Light Scattering and Fluorescence. It deals with the optics of bacteria (bio-aerosols), marine particles (selected phytoplankton communities) and red and white blood cells. Moreover, there are dedicated chapters on a general theory for scattering by a cell, and modelling and simulation of scattering by inhomogeneous biological cells. Finally, one chapter is dedicated to astro-biological signatures, discussing the possibilities for detecting non-terrestrial biological material. The volume has up-to-date discussions on new experimental and numerical techniques, and many examples of applications of these techniques in real-life systems, as used to detect and characterize e.g. biological warfare agents or human blood cells.
