We investigate statistical polarization structure of the images of biological tissues with different morphological structures. The results for polarization coordinate mapping and the statistics of first-to-fourth orders performed for the polarization azimuth and ellipticity characterising biological tissues are outlined.

Keywords: polarization, statistical moments, biological tissue, optical birefringence
