create_EV: Create a Model of an Extracellular Vesicle

In rogerswt/flowMie: Modeling a Detector Response to Scattering of (Multi-layer) Spherical Particles

Description

Create_EV creates a model of a 2-layer particle, suitable to describe an EV. This is really just a convenience wrapper for create_particle, allowing the description of a particle with total diameter 'd', surrounded by a membrane specified by its thickness. The refractive indices of the core and membrane can be specified separately. **Please note that this function uses the diameter, NOT the radius of the particle!**

Usage

create_EV(
  medium = 1.34,
  lambda = 488,
  n_core = 1.38,
  n_membrane = 1.46,
  thickness_membrane = 5,
  d
)

Arguments

medium	The refractive index (RI) of the material surrounding the particle (Default = 1.34, approximating the RI of normal saline solution)
lambda	The wavelength of the incident light, in nm. Default = 488.
n_core	The refractive index of the EV lumen. Default = 1.38.
n_membrane	The refractive index of the EV membrane. Default = 1.46.
thickness_membrane	The thickness of the EV membrane, in nm. Default = 5.0.
d	The overall diameter (lumen + membrane) of the EV, in nm.

Value

An object of class Scatterer.
