<br/><br/>LIGHT SCATTERING FROM A CELL -- MODELING OF LIGHT SCATTERING FROM INHOMOGENEOUS BIOLOGICAL CELLS -- ANGULARLY RESOLVED ELASTIC SCATTERING FROM AIRBORNE PARTICLES -- BIO-AEROSOL FLUORESCENCE -- OPTICAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF SELECTED PHYTOPLANKTONIC COMMUNITIES -- ASTRO-BIOLOGICAL SIGNATURES -- MODELING OF LIGHT SCATTERING BY SINGLE RED BLOOD CELLS WITH THE FDTD METHOD -- OPTICS OF ERYTHROCYTES -- OPTICS OF PLATELETS -- OPTICS OF LEUCOCYTES. 
<br/><br/> This book covers the optics of single biological particles, both theory and experiment, with emphasis on Elastic Light Scattering and Fluorescence. It deals with the optics of bacteria (bio-aerosols), marine particles (selected phytoplankton communities) and red and white blood cells. Moreover, there are dedicated chapters on a general theory for scattering by a cell, and modelling and simulation of scattering by inhomogeneous biological cells. Finally, one chapter is dedicated to astro-biological signatures, discussing the possibilities for detecting non-terrestrial biological material. The volume has up-to-date discussions on new experimental and numerical techniques, and many examples of applications of these techniques in real-life systems, as used to detect and characterize e.g. biological warfare agents or human blood cells.
