Polarization laminated cartography of multilayer biological tissues

This paper was considered the possibility of phase imaging optical anisotropic multilayer biological structures. Was founded a principle of superposition of polarization displays optical anisotropy of polycrystalline protein networks. The optical model of polycrystalline networks of biological tissues protein fibrils is presented. The technique of phase tomography based on determining the coordinate distributions of Mueller-matrix elements of biological tissues is suggested. The results of investigating the interrelation between the values of statistical (statistical moments of the 1st-4thorder) parameters are presented. They characterize the coordinate distributions of phase shifts of biological tissue layer of different optical thickness and the degree of muscle dystrophy.
