Nato Advanced Research Workshop Optics Of Biological Particles Held In Novosibirsk Russia On 3 6 Oct 2005

Included within this volume are the abstracts to be presented at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Optics of Biological Particles. The meeting's focus is on the potential of light scattering in the detection of biological agents, on novel detection systems using polarized light scattering, imaging (microscopy), inelastic scattering, absorption and emission over all EM spectral regions. The aim is to bring together researchers from different fields (physics, biophysics, microbiology, cytology, etc) to foster the flow of information between these diverse groups of researchers. Most of all, we hope that the workshop results in new collaborations that improve research efficiency.
