Polarization-interference images of optically anisotropic biological layers

A theoretical basis for the method of polarization-interference mapping of optically thin polycrystalline films of human biological fluids is given. The coordinate distributions of the value of the local contrast of the interference distributions of the polarization-inhomogeneous microscopic images of polycrystalline films of the synovial fluid of the human joint are investigated. In the framework of the statistical (statistical moments of the 1st-4th order) approaches, objective criteria for the distribution of the values of local contrast are established. The possibility of differentiation of weak changes in the optical anisotropy of blood films of healthy and patients with breast cancer patients is determined
