Angle-resolved Measurement and Simulations of Mueller Matrix Elements of B-cells and HL60 cells

摘要

Angle-resolved Mueller matrix elements of B-cell and HL-60 cell suspensions have been measured at three different wavelengths of 442, 633 and 862 nm. A finite-difference-timedomain method has been used to obtain simulated Mueller matrix elements and compared to a coated sphere model to model the experimental results with realistic structures of the B-cells and HL-60 cells reconstructed from confocal images. The comparison between the measured and simulated Mueller matrix elements allows the determination of the intracellular distributions of refractive index at different wavelengths.
