• Angular Distribution of Diffuse Reflectance in Biological Tissue 

    Xia, Jinjun, 1971-; Yao, Gang, Ph. D. (The Optical Society of America, 2007-09)
    We measured angular-resolved diffuse reflectance in tissue samples of different anisotropic characteristics. Experimental measurements were compared with theoretical results based on the diffusion approximation. The results ...
  • Monitoring Sarcomere Structure Changes in Whole Muscle Using Diffuse Light Reflectance 

    Xia, Jinjun, 1971-; Weaver, Amanda; Gerrard, David E.; Yao, Gang, Ph. D. (Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2006-07)
    Normal biomechanical and physiological functions of striated muscles are facilitated by the repeating sarcomere units. Light scattering technique has been used in studying single extracted muscle fibers. However, few ...
  • Optical characterization of skeletal muscles 

    Xia, Jinjun, 1971- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The optical absorption and reduced scattering coefficients of bulk skeleton muscle were measured by fitting the diffusion model to spatially resolved ...
