Abstract
Angular scattering can be used to obtain morphological information from biological specimen, such as the mean size of organelles. We will investigate the limitations that arise when fitting cell scattering to a Mie theory model and extracting organelle size estimates. Using simulation studies of the scattering of two organelle populations in a cell (mitochondria and lysosomes), we will determine under what conditions multiple size distribution parameters can be estimated. Additionally, the analysis method that will allow for the most accurate and smallest organelle size changes to be measured will be investigated computationally.
