Forward-angle light scatter relates to the size of the cells. It measures the amount of light that passes through and is redirected at a forward angle. This indicates the relative size of the cell as larger cells scatter more light than smaller ones. Hemoglobin and iron content are not measured by forward-angle light scatter.
