Abstract
An apparatus includes a first section operable to detect polarization-sensitive radiation emitted by an object, and a second section operable to determine a Jones matrix based on information obtained by the first section from the polarization-sensitive radiation. The second section thereafter transforms the Jones matrix into a Mueller matrix, the Mueller matrix being representative of properties of the object.
