In situ determination of refractive index and size of Bacillus spores by light transmission

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Light-extinction measurements in the wavelength range of 400to1000nm are performed in situ on Bacillus subtilis endospores during heat-shock-induced activation. Simultaneous information on particle size and refractive indices during activation is calculated from the transmission spectra by use of the Gaussian ray approximation of anomalous diffraction theory. During activation the refractive index of the core decreases from 1.51 to 1.39, and the size increases from 0.38to0.6μm.
