✦ Synopsis

The FDTD modeling approach is applied to study the
implementation of the optical immersion technique for the
visualization of single and multiple gold nanoparticles in
biological cells. To the best knowledge of authors, this is the
first research study discussing the gold nanoparticle effects on
the forward scattered light from biological cells at refractive
index matching conditions. The applicability and the potential of
the FDTD approach for studying gold nanoparticles enhanced
bio-imaging at optical immersion is demonstrated.
