Differential Mueller-matrix tomography of the polycrystalline structure of biological tissues with different damage durations

Abstract

Abstract. The work is aimed at the development and experimental testing of the polarization method for analyzing the polycrystalline structure of the human biological tissues. the main relationships between temporary changes in the statistical structure of topographic maps of the degree of crystallization of histological sections of the internal organs of a person and variations in the magnitude of the statistical moments of the 1st - 4th orders that characterize them are revealed. It is shown that with an increase in the damage duration, the statistical parameters of linear birefringence maps change according to the following scenario – the average and dispersion values decrease, asymmetry and excess, on the contrary, increase.
