Abstract

The absorption and scattering properties of whole blood suspensions are studied by simultaneous polarimetric and imaging measurement. Blood samples contained in a cylindrical flow through cuvette are illuminated with linearly polarized light (670 nm) axially and with diffuse white light medially. A high resolution line scan camera is used to obtain the transmission image through a varying pathlength chamber. Suspensions of crenated red blood cells are examined at different concentrations. Additional measurements were performed by standard blood test techniques to provide a reference for the evaluation of experimental results.
