Bibliography on Spectrophotometry
of Turbid Suspensions

Review

Shibata, K. Spectrophotometry of translucent biological materials=
opal glass transmission method. Methods of Biochemical Analysis, 7, 77 (1959).
An excellent account of the principles underlying the rescattering technique.
Unfortunately the review does not treat the problems of the absorption of
light by chromophores within particles of high refractive increment. The

bibliography of this review is a thorough treatment of the subject.

Clarified suspensions

Barer, R. Spectrophotometry of clarified suspensions. Science 121, 709
(1955). The essence of this technique is to match as nearly as possible the
refractive indices of the cell and the suspending fluid to minimize light
scattering. In theory this method should give a more reliable spectrum than
rescattering.
