polycrystalline networks of human biological tissues

Abstract.
Performed in this work is the complex statistical, correlation and fractal
analysis of coordinate distributions of Jones-matrix elements corresponding to
birefringent networks of liquid crystals in human biological liquids (saliva, blood plasma,
bile). The authors have determined the values and ranges for changing statistical,
correlation and spectral moments of the 1-st to 4-th orders that characterize Jones-matrix
images of these objects. Ascertained are objective criteria for classification and
differentiation of optical properties inherent to polycrystalline networks of biological
crystals with various kinds of spatial symmetry: dendrite, spherolite and cluster ones.
Keywords: laser, polarization, birefringence, Jones matrix, biological liquids, statistical
moments, autocorrelation, power spectrum, fractal.
