Phys. Rev. E 72, 023401 (2005) [4 pages]Comment on the use of the method of images for calculating electromagnetic responses of interacting spheresReceived 5 January 2005; published 11 August 2005 In this Comment, I argue that the method of images used by Huang, Yu and Gu Phys Rev. E 65 021401 (2002)] and Huang, Karttunen, Yu, Dong and Gu Phys Rev. E. 69 051402 (2004)] to calculate electromagnetic properties of interacting spheres at finite frequencies is inapplicable and does not provide a physically meaningful approximation. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
