Abstract

We describe a new method of determining path-integrated tissue density using a modified interferometric scattering experiment. The method is based on the ability of the photons, passing through the sample without scattering (or absorption) to preserve their coherence (polarization and phase). We present the theory that predicts the feasibility of this method. The highest value of fringe incidance contains the information about the sample transmission.
