Abstract

An epiluminescence microscope, the so called dermatoscope, is the standard device for non-invasive skin examination. It is used to generate images for an optical evaluation of skin diseases. The dermatoscope is known for its use in early diagnosis of skin cancer, but it is also employed to obtain a magnified view of skin areas in case of inflammatory skin diseases. To extend the 2D image information which is generated by the camera of a dermatoscope we present experimental skin polarimetry by applying the Mueller matrix (MM) formalism. In order to investigate the diagnostic power of the experimental setup, different skin phantoms were studied to correlate MM information with skin properties such as morphology.
