Polarimetric sulfacrilate epidermal strippings analysis as a method of optical biopsy

Abstract

The study aims the development and evaluation of the effectiveness of tissues polarization probe in vitro conditions. The method is based on local estimation of polarization parameters of forward scattered radiation. Matherials and methods. Widely accepted technique of skin surface stripping with adhesive materials was used in this work. We used stereomicroscope "MC-2 ZOOM", ОСТ "The OCS1300SS" and polarimeter "THORLABS TXP 5004" to receive information about stratum corneum of normal and diseased skin (psoriasis, lichen planus, discoid lupus erythematosus, alopecia, scabies, demodex)
