Mechanisms of surface and volume light scattering from Caenorhabditis elegans revealed by angle-resolved measurements

The roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans has become a widely studied model system in biology in part due to its small size and optical accessibility. Optical imaging of C. elegans primarily relies on scat...
