Spectroscopy in heterogenous media and applications for bioprocess and environmental monitoring by Frank Schael, Oliver Reich, Sonja Engelhard

“…In order to establish the applicability of simple photon migration models derived from radiation transport theory and to check the experimental boundary conditions of our measurements, simple light scattering solutions (such as suspensions of titanium dioxide, latex particles, and solutions of milk powder) containing dyes (such as nile blue, isosulfan blue) were investigated. The results obtained from diffuse-reflectance studies at different sourcedetector distances were in accordance with predictions from simple photon diffusion theory. …”
