System of Mueller matrix polarization correlometry of biological polycrystalline layers

Abstract

The model of the azimuthally invariant Mueller-matrix description of polarization-correlation mechanisms of optical anisotropy that typical for polycrystalline layers of the histological sections of biological tissues is suggested. Within the statistical analysis of the ranges of linear and circular birefringence, dichroism, the objective criteria for the differentiation of myocardium histological sections were determined. From the point of view of probative medicine the ranges of variation of the statistical parameters that characterize the Mueller-matrix invariants of optical anisotropy parameters were found.
