Polarization-phase images of liquor polycrystalline films in determining time of death

Appl Opt. 2016 Apr 20;55(12):B67-71. doi: 10.1364/AO.55.000B67.

Abstract

An optical model for generalized optical anisotropy of polycrystalline networks of albumin and globulin liquor of the human brain has been suggested. The polarization-phase method for spatial and frequency differentiation of linear and circular birefringence coordinate distributions has been analytically substantiated. A set of criteria documenting the dynamics of polarization-phase images of liquor polycrystalline films has been identified in determining time of death.
