THE FEASIBILITY OF USING THE MIE THEORY FOR THE SCATTERING OF LIGHT FROM SUSPENSIONS OF SPHERICAL BACTERIA

Abstract

The distribution of the energy of light waves during the interaction with suspensions of spherical bacteria obeys the Mie theory of scattering. In the visible range of the spectrum the Rayleigh-Gans theory cannot always be used for describing the scattering of light of bacterial suspensions.
