Y-P. Yeh and J.J. Ramsden, Quantification of the number of adsorbed bacteria on an optical waveguide, Journal of Biological Physics and Chemistry, Volume 10, 2010, Issue 2, Pages 53–54
Abstract:
A simple method is presented for determining the number of bacteria adsorbed on
a planar optical waveguide from measurements of a single effective refractive
index. It requires only knowledge of the shape and mean size of the bacteria.
