+abstract: >-
+  miepython is a pure Python module to calculate light
+  scattering by non-absorbing, partially-absorbing, or
+  perfectly conducting spheres. Mie theory is used,
+  following the procedure described by Wiscombe. This code
+  has been validated against his results.
+
+
+  This code provides functions for calculating the
+  extinction efficiency, scattering efficiency,
+  backscattering, and scattering asymmetry. Moreover, a set
+  of angles can be given to calculate the scattering at
+  various angles for a sphere.
