Abstract

Using the theory of vision in scattering media, we have developed a model of inhomogeneity observation in biological tissues by the method of transmission confocal microscopy. We introduce general formulas for calculating the contrast of the image of a local inhomogeneity with sinusoidal distribution of the transmission factor, which is located in a homogeneous scattering medium. The influence of observation system parameters on the maximum depth of inhomogeneity visibility is analyzed.
