Abstract. A new azimuthally stable polarimetric method for processing microscopic images of optically anisotropic structures for different biological layers of histological sections has been proposed. A new model that enables to determine phase anisotropy of biological tissues by using superposition of Mueller matrices of linear birefringence and optical activity has been proposed. The matrix element M44 has been chosen as the main information parameter, which value is independent of rotation angle of both sample and probing beam polarization plane.

Keywords: polarimetry, endometrium, laser image, filtering.
