  • Refractive index (real part) of wet mesophyl cell wall (400-2500nm) computed using the Dale and Glasdone law (Baranoski 2006) and considering the refractive index of water provided by Palmer and Williams (1974) as well as the refractive index of dry mesophyl cell wall, which was estimated to be 1.5479. This value was also obtained using the Dale and Gladstone law and considering the refractive index of wet mesophyll cell wall measured by Woolley (1975) at 800nm equal to 1.415 (Woolley 1975). Data resolution equal to 5nm:
