We demonstrate that a newly developed instrument which measures all polarization and intensity information contained in differentially and elastically scattered light has valuable applications in biology. The polarization states of light scattered differentially from suspensions of biological scatters are shown to contain structural information about those systems. The scatterers are discussed in the context of a 16 component matrix which completely characterizes the scattering process. The instrument and method are described in terms of the corresponding matrix algebra. We also discuss the use of the instrument as a device for distinguishing between closely related structural systems and as a tool for following time-dependent structural changes.
我们证明，一种新开发的仪器可测量差分散射光和弹性散射光中包含的所有偏振和强度信息，在生物学中具有重要应用。从生物散射体悬浮液中差分散射的光的偏振态显示包含有关这些系统的结构信息。在一个完全表征散射过程的16分量矩阵的背景下讨论了散射体。该仪器和方法根据相应的矩阵代数进行描述。我们还讨论了该仪器作为区分密切相关的结构系统的设备以及作为跟踪随时间变化的结构变化的工具的用途。
