Optical properties of human skin, subcutaneous and mucous tissues in the wavelength range from 400 to 2000 nm (2005, methodology): “Assuming that in the visible spectral range (400–700 nm), refractive indices of tissue scatterers and interstitial ﬂuid are 1.45 and 1.36 [17, 71, 72], respectively, the corresponding estimated mean size of the scatterers are in the range 0.2–0.5 µ m.”

Hyperspectral Scattering for assessing Peach Fruit Firmness (2006, background): “Quantification of light scattering and absorption in the fruit may be achieved by measuring spatially resolved diffuse reflectance (Tuchin, 2000).”
Why the Monte Carlo method is so important today (2014, background): “For example, when employed for randomized optimization, the randomness permits stochastic algorithms to naturally escape local optima — enabling better exploration of the search space — a quality which is not usually shared by their deterministic counterparts.”
OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF SKIN, SUBCUTANEOUS, AND MUSCLE TISSUES: A REVIEW (2011, methodology): “The major scatterers in human sclera are long collagen ̄bers with a wide range of diameters and a mean value of 100 nm.(11) Fibers are arranged quasi-randomly in the bundles.”
Recent progress in tissue optical clearing (2013, background): “However, the high scattering of turbid biological tissues limits the penetration of visible and near-infrared light, and the image blurs, both the imaging resolution and contrast decrease as light propagates deeper into the tissue [1, 2].”
Face recognition in hyperspectral images (2003, background): “The interaction of light with human tissue has been studied extensively by various researchers [17], [18], [19] and determines tissue spectral properties.”
Medical hyperspectral imaging: a review (2014, background): “Light absorbed by tissue constituents is either converted to heat or radiated in the form of luminescence, including fluorescence and phosphorescence.(18,24,27) Fluorescence that originates from endogenous fluorescent chromophores is also called autofluorescence.”
