Statistical and cross-correlation structure of Jones-matrix images of polycrystalline films of biological fluids

The paper presents the results of Jones-matrix mapping of optically thin, non-depolarizing biological fluids with different polycrystalline structure – bile and cerebrospinal fluid (liquor). The Jones matrix model of manifestations of polarizing mechanisms of phase anisotropy of such layers is presented. The technique of experimental measurement of coordinate distributions of the modulus and phase values of Jones matrix elements is suggested. Within the statistical and cross-correlation approaches the modulus and phase maps of Jones matrix images of optically thin layers of polycrystalline films of plasma and cerebrospinal fluid are analyzed. A set of objective parameters (statistical and generalized correlation moments), which are the most sensitive to changes in the phase of anisotropy, associated with the features of polycrystalline structure of films of biological fluids of various organs are determined.
