Wavelength dependence of the refractive index of human colorectal tissues: comparison between healthy mucosa and cancer

Wavelength dependence of the refractive index of human colorectal tissues: comparison between healthy mucosa and cancer

Biological tissues have individual optical properties that may be used as an identity card. The refractive index in particular, which can be measured directly, is very significant for the improvement or development of optical technologies in clinical practice. With the objective of verifying if heal...
