Morphologic tomography of nonspherical particles using multispectral diffusing light measurements

Abstract

A series of phantom experiments are conducted to demonstrate the ability of a T-matrix-based inverse algorithm for tomographic recovery of morphologic characteristics of nonspherical particles embedded in heterogeneous turbid media. Diffusely scattered light at several wavelengths along the boundary of the phantom are collected and analyzed to allow for simultaneous extraction of the size, concentration, and aspect ratio of the spheroidal particles.
