Abstract
in this paper. A chain cluster consists of normal and/or abnormal RBCs is chosen as a sample in the analysis. The modified cluster T -matrix method, as introduced in a previous work [3], is used to calculate the angular scattering intensity of a cluster illuminated with a focused Gaussian beam. The beam is modeled by the plane wave spectrum method [4]. From the results of the angular scattering intensity the abnormal RBCs in the sample can be identified. We think that this technique is a powerful one to define the diseased RBCs for more accurate diagnostics purposes.
