Vesicle sizing by static light scattering: a Fourier cosine transform approach

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A Fourier cosine transform method, based on the Rayleigh–Gans–Debye thin-shell approximation, was developed to retrieve vesicle size distribution directly from the angular dependence of scattered light intensity. Its feasibility for real vesicles was partially tested on scattering data generated by the exact Mie solutions for isotropic vesicles. The noise tolerance of the method in recovering unimodal and biomodal distributions was studied with the simulated data. Applicability of this approach to vesicles with weak anisotropy was examined using Mie theory for anisotropic hollow spheres. A primitive theory about the first four moments of the radius distribution about the origin, excluding the mean radius, was obtained as an alternative to the direct retrieval of size distributions.
