(Color online) Conceptualization of inverse light scattering analysis. Angular scattering distributions are depicted for two different spheroids as calculated by T-matrix theory. For both, the background index of refraction is 1.43 and the scattering index of refraction is 1.59. (a) Equal volume diameter, D=4.0 μm, aspect ratio ε=0.8, (b) D = 7.0 μm, ε=0.6. By measuring scattering properties and comparing to models, structural differences between two objects can be discerned.
