TL;DR: A review of methodologies and applications related to tissue polarimetry, with an emphasis on the adoption of the Stokes-Mueller formalism, is presented in this article, where several recent breakthroughs, development trends, and potential multimodal uses in conjunction with other techniques are also presented.

TL;DR: Experimental and simulated results indicate that the polarized light microscope and transformed Mueller matrix parameters can provide additional quantitative information helpful for fibrosis detections and scorings of liver cirrhosis and cancers.

TL;DR: Comparisons between the experimental and simulated data confirm that the contrast mechanism of the transmission MMT imaging for cancer detection is the breaking down of birefringent normal tissues for cervical cancer, or the formation of bifurcation surrounding structures accompanying the inflammatory reaction for thyroid cancer.

TL;DR: Both the experimental and simulated data indicate that the microscopic transformed Mueller matrix parameters can distinguish the breaking down of birefringent normal tissues for cervical cancer, or the formation of bifurcation surrounding structures accompanying the inflammatory reaction for liver cancer.

TL;DR: Wide-field illumination is adopted and backscattering Mueller matrix images of bovine skeletal muscle tissues during the 24-hour experimental time after the animal's death reveal rich qualitative information on the changes in the microstructures of the skeletal muscle.
