The model based on Mueller-matrix description of mechanisms providing optical anisotropy typical for polycrystalline smears of liquor (including optical activity, birefringence as well as linear and circular dichroism) has been suggested. Within the statistical analysis of such distributions, the objective criteria of differentiation of smears of liquor taken from dead patient at different moments after his death have been determined. From the viewpoint of probative medicine, the operational characteristics (sensitivity, specificity and accuracy) of the method of Mueller-matrix reconstruction of optical anisotropy parameters have been found and the efficiency of this method in another task – diagnostics of diseases of internal organs of rats – has been demonstrated.

Introduction Biological tissues and fluids represent structurally inhomogeneous media with absorption. To describe interactions of polarized light with these complex systems, the most general approaches based on Mueller- matrix formalism are required. Nowadays in biological and medical investigations, many practical techniques based on measurement and analysis of Mueller matrices of investigated samples are used [1-12]. In recent 10-15 years, a separate approach – laser polarimetry [13] – was formed in matrix optics. On its basis, the interactions between the set of statistical moments of the 1 st -4 th orders characterizing the Mueller-matrix elements distribution and parameters of linear birefringence of fibrillar protein networks of human biological tissues have been determined. It enabled to diagnose oncological changes of skin derma, epithelial and connective tissue of women’s reproductive sphere organs etc. [18-21]. In addition, laser polarimetry techniques require further development and genera- lization. Firstly, not all elements of Mueller matrix prove to be convenient for characterizing biological samples. The reason of this is the azimuthal dependence of the majority of matrix elements – generally 12 of 16 elements change at rotation of the sample around the probing axis. Secondly, the spectrum of mechanisms of optical anisotropy of biological layers is not confined to linear birefringence only. Taking into consideration the impact of other mechanisms, circular birefringence as well as linear and circular dichroism are topical in the aspect of enlarging the range of diagnostic techniques. Semiconductor Physics, Quantum Electronics & Optoelectronics, 2015. V. 18, N 2. P. 158-163. doi: 10.15407/spqeo18.02.158 © 2015, V. Lashkaryov Institute of Semiconductor Physics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine 159 Thirdly, there is a wide range of optically anisotropic biological objects, for which laser polarimetry techniques did not spread widely. Biological fluids – blood and its plasma, urine, bile, saliva and others – belong to them. The objects of this class are easily accessible and do not require the traumatic surgery of biopsy. This research is focused on generalization of optical anisotropy of optically thin layers of liquor films and histological sections of the internal organs of healthy and diabetic rats and the development of the method of “azimuthally stable” Mueller-matrix reconstruction of anisotropy parameters of polycrystalline networks. 2.

Analysis and discussion of experimental data The measurements of coordinate distributions of Mueller-matrix elements (distribution of values in the film plane of blood plasma) were performed in the setup (Fig. 1) of the standard Stokes-polarimeter [13]. Illumination of the sample under study was performed by the parallel ( = 10 4 μm) laser beam of He-Ne ( = 0.6328 μm, W = 5.0 mW). The polarization light source consisted of quarter-wave plates 3, 5 and polarizer 4, it formed a right circularly polarized beam. Blood plasma films were placed in the focal plane of polarization microobjective 7 (focal distance 30 mm, aperture 0.1, magnification 4×). Behind the (Fourier) focal plane the vignetting diaphragm was located, its size changed within the range from 2 up to 300 pix. Polarization microobjective 8 (focal distance 30 mm, aperture 0.1, magnification 4×) was located at the focal length from the frequency plane of lens 7 and, thus, performed inverse Fourier transform of the filtered out polarization field of laser radiation. The coordinate distribution of the intensity of these fields, polarizationally filtered by the quarter-wave plate 9 and polarizer 10, was registered in the plane of CCD-camera 11 (The Imaging Source DMK 41AU02.AS, monochrome 1/2" CCD, Sony ICX205AL (progressive scan); resolution 1280×960; light sensitive area size 7600×6200 μm; sensitivity 0.05 lx; dynamic range 8 bit; SNR 9 bit, deviation of photosensitive characteristics from linear is no more than 15%). It provided the range of measuring the structural elements of the polycrystalline network with the resolution of 2…2000 μm.
