A silicon dioxide nanospheres suspension can simulate the optical properties of biological tissues [1-3], allowing to compare the Mie solutions to Maxwell equations for dielectric spheres with the diffusion approximation for the radiative transport equation. Experimental results obtained from the measurement of light transmitted through these phantoms allow us to obtain the scattering and absorption coefficients, these coefficients can be also predicted theoretically by the Mie solutions when the morphological properties of the silica nanospheres are known, then the diameter of these nanospheres must be controlled with precision.
