Abstract
- The effect of the cell membrane on the scattering and absorption of light by a red blood cell is investigated theoretically using spherical models. It is shown that although the backscattering cross section varies considerably with cell membrane refractive index, cell membrane has very little to do with other scattering and absorption characteristics in general.
