Abstract

Among various opticophysical methods [1 - 3] of diagnosing the structure and properties of the optical anisotropic component of various biological objects a specific trend has been singled out - multidimensional laser polarimetry of microscopic images of the biological tissues with the following statistic, correlative and fractal analysis of the coordinate distributions of the azimuths and ellipticity of polarization in approximating of linear birefringence polycrystalline protein networks [4 – 10]. At the same time, in most cases, experimental obtaining of tissue sample is a traumatic biopsy operation. In addition, the mechanisms of transformation of the state of polarization of laser radiation by means of the opticoanisotropic biological structures are more varied (optical dichroism, circular birefringence). Hereat, real polycrystalline networks can be formed by different types, both in size and optical properties of biological crystals. Finally, much more accessible for an experimental investigation are biological fluids such as blood, bile, urine, and others. Thus, further progress of laser polarimetry can be associated with the development of new methods of analysis and processing (selection) of polarization- heterogeneous images of biological tissues and fluids, taking into account a wider set of mechanisms anisotropic mechanisms. Our research is aimed at developing experimental method of the Fourier polarimetry and a spatialfrequency selection for distributions of the azimuth and the ellipticity polarization of blood plasma laser images with a view of diagnosing prostate cancer.
