摘要
Polarization imaging techniques are emerging tools to provide quantitative information of anisotropic structures, such as the density and orientation distribution of fibers in tissue samples. Recently, it is found that when using Mueller matrix polarimetry to obtain the structural features of tissue samples, some information can be revealed by relatively low-resolution polarization parameter images. Thus, to analyze what kinds of anisotropic optical and structural information contained in high-resolution polarization images are preserved in low-resolution ones, here we carry out a comparative study of the influence of imaging resolution on the Mueller matrix derived linear retardance parameters. We measure the microscopic Mueller matrix of human healthy breast duct tissues and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) tissues, which have distinct typical fibrous structures, using objectives with different numerical aperture. Then we quantitatively compare a group of image texture feature parameters of the linear retardance parameters images under high and low imaging resolutions. The results demonstrate that the fibers density information contained in the texture features of linear retardance δ parameter image are preserved well with the decline of imaging resolution. While for the azimuthal orientation parameter θ which closely related to the spatial location, we still need high imaging resolution to obtain quantitative structural information. The study provides an important criterion to decide which information of fibrous structures can be extracted accurately using transmission Mueller matrix microscope with low numerical aperture objectives.
