Published on: February 9, 2024

  • Absolute differential light-scattering cross sections of neutrophils were determined.
  • An optical model representing neutrophils as spheres with internal structures (granules, nucleus) was proposed.
  • Simulated LSPs showed good qualitative and quantitative agreement with experimental data.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed optical model accurately reflects neutrophil light-scattering behavior.
  • This study enhances our understanding of neutrophil biophysics.
  • The findings support the use of light scattering for neutrophil characterization.
