Journal ArticleDOI

In vitro toxicity evaluation of single walled carbon nanotubes on human A549 lung cells.

TL;DR: The SWCNT were found to interfere with a number of the dyes used in the cytotoxicity assessment and the authors are currently conducting a comprehensive spectroscopic study to further investigate these interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resonant Mie Scattering (RMieS) correction of infrared spectra from highly scattering biological samples

TL;DR: In this paper a preliminary algorithm for correcting RMieS is presented and evaluated using simulated data and results show that the 'dispersion artefact' appears to be removed; however, the correction is not perfect.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spectroscopic analysis confirms the interactions between single walled carbon nanotubes and various dyes commonly used to assess cytotoxicity

TL;DR: The results comprehensively confirm that the indicator dyes used in this study are not appropriate for the quantitative toxicity assessment of carbon nanotubes highlighting the pressing need for the development of alternative screening techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resonant Mie scattering in infrared spectroscopy of biological materials--understanding the 'dispersion artefact'

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use synchrotron radiation FTIR micro-spectroscopy to record spectra of mono-dispersed poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) spheres of systematically varying size and demonstrate that the spectral distortions in the data can be understood in terms of resonant Mie scattering.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reverse saturable absorption in tetraphenylporphyrins

TL;DR: In this paper, a decrease of light transmission with increasing excitation intensity was observed in tetraphenylporphyrin/toluene solutions irradiated with 80 ps pulses at λ=532 nm.
