BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS OF ULTRASHORT PULSED LASER POLARIMETRY

摘要

This paper is focused on the experimental analysis of different pathologically modified tissues, using a polarization sensitive imaging technique with a pulsed femtoseconds laser. The experimental set-up used permits the acquisition and recording of 24 polarization images, with the possibility of extracting an important amount of information regarding the tissue inhomogenous structure and any pathologically induced behaviors of the sample. The colour histograms corresponding to these images can also be obtained.
