This book presents experimental investigations and digital image processing highlighting the interaction of polarized radiation with phase-inhomogeneous and optically anisotropic biological layers. The promising and efficient use of vector-parametric description of the formation of polarization-inhomogeneous object fields is noted. Applications of a set of Mueller-matrix polarimetry methods are highlighted. The book includes- structural and logical scheme of multi-parameter (singular interference and layer-by-layer Stokes-polarimetric) polarization-correlation study of the structure of dist ributions of the number of singularities maps of local contrast of interference distributions and layer-by-layer maps of microscopic polarization azimuth and ellipticity determination of relationships between changes in the magnitude of statistical parameters characterizing polarization-correlation distributions and pathology of prostate tumors.
