Abstract :
The paper presents an original experimental optical LSS system which allows backscattering Mie diffusion spectra determination for biological samples. With the aim of evaluating viral infection effects, a software package performs fractal analysis of the spectra and texture analysis of the associated microscopic images. Finally a method for the classification of cell nuclei and the discrimination between virus infected and non-infected biological samples using a combined vector of the computed fractal and texture features is proposed.
