Fig. 1.

Sketch of the infinite plane-parallel slab setup. Radiation enters the slab of transverse optical depth τ = τmax through the top layer. The observer detects radiation that is transmitted through the slab and is located below the bottom layer of the slab. The initial direction of a photon package is described by the penetration angle θ0. If the photon package scatters, its direction is chosen randomly according to its corresponding PDF and the new direction is described by the angle θ.
