. Illumination with incident linearly polarized light on tissue and polarization state measurements,of the remitted light provide a means,by which,various tissue structures can be differentiated. A rat tail is embedded,within a turbid gelatin such that there is a variable depth of medium,above it. By varying the incident polarization angle  IPA of the illuminating linearly polarized light, the geometry, and the orientation angle of the tissue, a series of 2-D degree of linear polar- ization image maps,are created using our Stokes polarimetry imaging technique. The image,maps,show,locations of the polarization- sensitive structures in the rat tail, including soft tissue, intervertebral disks, and tendons. The observed morphologies in the image maps indicate locations where,the depolarization of light differs according to the tissue type and underlying layers. The data indicate the impor- tance of varying the IPA, and that tissue dichroism and birefringence affect the degree of linear polarization image maps. Diagnostic infor- mation regarding subsurface tissue structures is obtained. © 2006 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
