title: Polarization-correlation mapping of biological tissue coherent images.
abstract: We investigate the statistical polarization parameters of biological tissue histological section images with different morphological structure. First we outline the results of polarization coordinate mapping and analysis of the statistics of the first to fourth orders of biological tissue image polarization azimuth and ellipticities. Second, we study the statistics of the first to fourth orders of coordinate distributions of the complex degree of mutual polarization (CDMP) of biological tissue images. Finally, we consider the diagnostic possibilities of investigating 2-D distributions of CDMP of images that correspond to physiologically normal and degeneratively and/or dystrophycally changed biological tissues that are being analyzed.
