18. Note that such integrals contain exponentials with imaginary argument. This is in agreement with the original work of Richards and Wolf in ref 12, whereas the review by Cheng et al. in ref 1 presents exponentials with real arguments. This little glitch reappears in ref 16.

22. Unfortunately, the comparison between Figure 4 of this work and the corresponding result of refs 1 and 2 can only be qualitative. Quantitative considerations are prevented from a significant mistake in the evaluation of the volumes made on the basis of the geometrical parameters provided by Cheng et al. Although they declare that the different scatterers have the same volume, the sphere is 4 times bigger than the other types of Raman samples.
