Abstract
Optical techniques for investigation of the structure of biological tissues are classified. Both polarization and correlation characteristics for real object fields of tissues, including their images, are analyzed. The development of novel approaches to the analysis of tissue optical images and the search for the novel polarization, interference, and correlation diagnostics of BT structure associated with the tissue physiological state is the main goal of this chapter.
