A review of the optical properties of biological tissues
TLDR
The known optical properties (absorption, scattering, total attenuation, effective attenuation and/or anisotropy coefficients) of various biological tissues at a variety of wavelengths are reviewed in this article.Abstract:
The known optical properties (absorption, scattering, total attenuation, effective attenuation, and/or anisotropy coefficients) of various biological tissues at a variety of wavelengths are reviewed. The theoretical foundations for most experimental approaches are outlined. Relations between Kubelka-Munk parameters and transport coefficients are listed. The optical properties of aorta, liver, and muscle at 633 nm are discussed in detail. An extensive bibliography is provided. >read more

Comparison of objective lenses for multiphoton microscopy in turbid samples
TL;DR: The data corroborate earlier findings that low-mag lenses can be superior at collecting scattered photons, and compare a set of commonly used multiphoton objective lenses in terms of their ability to collect scattered fluorescence, providing guidance for the design of multipoton imaging systems.

In vivo quantitative three-dimensional localization of tumor labeled with exogenous specific fluorescence markers
TL;DR: Three-dimensional reconstructions of the location of a fluorophore (FITC-fluorescein isothiocyanate) in the tongues of mice are presented by combining an optical detection system with a reconstruction algorithm developed on the basis of the random-walk model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-depth imaging of specific gene expressions in whole-mount mouse embryos with single-photon excitation confocal fluorescence microscopy and FISH.
TL;DR: A three-dimensional reconstruction that clearly shows the Pax-6 mRNA expression domains in the forebrain, diencephalon, optic cup, and spinal cord of the day 9.5 WME is obtained.

The Optics of Human Skin
R. Rox Anderson,John A. Parrish +1 more
TL;DR: An integrated review of the transfer of optical radiation into human skin is presented, aimed at developing useful models for photomedicine.
Journal ArticleDOI
New contributions to the optics of intensely light-scattering materials.
TL;DR: In this paper, the Gurevic and Judd formulas were derived from the Kubelka-Munk differential equations, and they are exact under the same conditions as in this paper, that is, when the material is perfectly dull and when the light, is perfectly diffused or if it is parallel and hits the specimen under an angle of 60° from normal.

Time resolved reflectance and transmittance for the non-invasive measurement of tissue optical properties.
TL;DR: A simple model is developed, based on the diffusion approximation to radiative transfer theory, which yields analytic expressions for the pulse shape in terms of the interaction coefficients of a homogeneous slab.

The delta-Eddington approximation for radiative flux transfer
TL;DR: In this paper, the delta-Eddington approximation was used to calculate monochromatic radiative fluxes in an absorbing-scattering atmosphere, by combining a Dirac delta function and a two-term approximation, which overcomes the poor accuracy of the Eddington approximation for highly asymmetric phase functions.
