| pubmed-article:330735 | pubmed:abstractText | Light scatter from epithelial cells in a slit-scan flow system is modeled using the Fraunhofer condition of scalar diffraction theory. Power spectra are calculated for successive positions of model cells in the line focus of a laser beam with a Fourier transform computer program. Using the calculated power spectra, detector configurations are designed to detect specific cell structures of interest. Detector configurations are tested in a static slit-scan scatter apparatus. Data indicating the ability to detect boundaries and cell orientation are discussed. | lld:pubmed |
