Experimental Monte Carlo Validation Data for 5 µm Polystyrene Spheres

Experimental and simulated scattered light intensity distributions from a 30 mm cuvette illuminated by a 473 nm laser. The data includes measurements from an aqueous dispersion of 4.94 µm polystyrene spheres across optical depths from 0 to 17.5. The dataset was created by David Frantz using Multi-scattering simulations.

Use Cases

• Validate Monte Carlo light scattering models based on experimental intensity distributions.
• Analyze the relationship between optical depth and scattered light intensity based on the described experimental setup.
• Benchmark simulation software performance against experimental data for polystyrene sphere phantoms.

Strengths

• Includes both experimental and simulated data for direct comparison.
• Covers a range of optical depths from 0 to 17.5.
• Specifies precise experimental parameters: 473 nm laser wavelength, 30 mm cuvette, and 4.94 µm polystyrene spheres.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
