Introduction: This paper aims to investigate and substantiate the information capabilities of the objective method of azimuthal-invariant polarization Müller-matrix microscopy of histological sections of biological tissues (BT) in the diagnosis of time since death (TSD) in alcohol and monoxide poisoning.
Objectives: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic capabilities of the azimuthal-invariant Muller-matrix polarimetry technique of the polycrystalline constituent of BT and human body fluids in determining the TSD in cases of alcohol and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Results: A comprehensive experimental study of the diagnostic efficiency of the azimuthal-invariant Muller-matrix polarimetric microscopy of the polycrystalline component of histological sections of the brain, myocardium, adrenal glands, liver, and polycrystalline blood films from dead persons for the diagnosis of TSD in cases of alcohol and carbon monoxide poisoning.A sensitivity range of 24 hours was determined using the method of the azimuthal-invariant Muller-matrix polarimetric microscopy of the polycrystalline component of histological sections of the myocardium for the diagnosis of TSD in cases of alcohol and carbon monoxide poisoning.
Conclusion: The results showed the effectiveness of the studied methodology and the prospect of further research in this direction.
