Abstract
Autocorrelation functions are computed for nonspherical particles whose dimensions are comparable to or greater than the wavelength of scattered light. Particular attention is given to models of motile microorganisms. Results for Gaussian ellipsoids, finite thin rods, ellipsoids with internal structures, and dumbbell-shaped scatterers are derived and compared.
