title: Diffuse optics determination of hemoglobin derivatives in red blood cells and liposome encapsulated hemoglobin.
abstract: High resolution optical absorption spectra of hemoglobin derivatives in red blood cells and phosphatidylcholine liposomes were calculated from diffuse reflection and transmission spectra by means of the one-dimensional diffusion approximation. The numerical technique of singular value decomposition was used to calculate the composition of red cell and liposome mixtures.
