Biological tissues are generally highly scattering samples and the determination of their optical proprierties is difficult to carry out with conventional spectroscopic techniques. Since photoacustic spectroscopy is in fact independent of scattering when it is forward-peaked (as in tissues), we used this techniques to determine the optical absorption coefficient of unprocessed samples of animal tissues (rat skin, bovine liver, muscle, kidney) in the 250-700 nm spectral range.

Abstract
Biological tissues are generally highly scattering samples and the determination of their optical proprierties is difficult to carry out with conventional spectroscopic techniques. Since photoacustic spectroscopy is in fact independent of scattering when it is forward-peaked (as in tissues), we used this techniques to determine the optical absorption coefficient of unprocessed samples of animal tissues (rat skin, bovine liver, muscle, kidney) in the 250-700 nm spectral range.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
