class MieScatterer
A MieScatterer is a SphericalScatterer for a homogeneous
isotropic sphere. These routines are loosely based upon the
program BHMIE found in Bohren and Huffman, as modified by B.T.
Draine. This version was further modified to place it in
the context of a SphericalScatterer C++ object class.
Parameters:

expressed as a complex number (n,k) or, optionally, as
a function of wavelength.
