Light scaering by small parcles university of florida. Huffman university park, pennsylvania tucson, arizona january 1983. By contrast, coherent scattering occurs when the spatial distribution of scatterers is nonrandom with respect to the wavelengths of visible light, so that the phases of scattered waves are nonrandom bohren and huffman, 1983. Its primary use has been in discriminating among cells based on differences in size, shape, refractive index, and the presences of internal structures.

Maxwell equations connect the five basic quantities. The scattering properties of a spherical particle in any medium are defined by the complex index of refraction. The authors emphasize that any discussion of the optical behavior of small particles is inseparable from a full understanding of the optical behavior of the parent material.
