Abstract

We consider physical principles of visualization and diagnostics of the morphological and functional state of biological tissues on the basis of spectral analysis of polarization properties of probing light diffusely reflected by studied objects. Various modifications of the polarization reflectance technique, including the use of partially coherent probing radiation with changeable coherence length, are discussed. The results of application of the discussed techniques for morphological and functional diagnostics of in vivo human skin are presented.
