Schiff’s approximation

Figure 5 Radiative properties of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (ieft) and Rhodospirillum rubrum (right) obtained with the volume equivalent sphere approximation and a Lorentz-Mie code (gray color) and with a more accurate description of the shape and Schiff s approximation (black color) a prolate spheroid with elongation 1.2 (aspect ratio 0.837) for C. reinhardtii and a cylinder with elongation 3.8 (aspect ratio 0.263) for Rs. rubrum. These results were obtained by implementing the methodological chain presented in Section 2.1 for a log-normal size distribution pf, (reg =...
