Introduction
The progress in laser and computer technologies allow implementing of optical methods in different areas of non-destructive control. Among other, such methods applies for investigation of dispersive mediums, materials, and coating [1-5], or diagnostics of tissues and organs condition in biology and medicine [6-12].
Distribution of the electromagnetic radiation along optical range in biologic tissues (BT) is complicated and stochastic processes. Such distribution defines analytically by the classic electromagnetic theory, or extrapolates by the radiative transfer theory [13, 14]. Mathematical solution of subordinated to such theories systems of equations performs by the variety of theoretic and numeric methods [15]. Despite of that, the unified system of received results comparison criterion is still not established. Typical reasons are significant limitations of features of measuring and computation instruments intended for determination of indexes and coefficients of equations.
Full-wave simulation like finite different time domain [16, 17] or finite element method [18, 19] applies more often for rigorous solution of Maxwell's equations. However, it is still perspective for practical application in optics of biological tissues. In biomedical optics the radiative transfer theory is more popular. It provides results that are more precise and corresponds to reliability criteria in clinical application during investigation of pathologies. For direct and inverse problem solution following methods are typical: Monte Carlo simulation, adding-doubling method, Kubelka-Munk function, diffusion approximation, and other. Direct problem solution is determination of transmittance, reflectance and absorption of the BT, while inverse is determination of the BT optical properties - absorption and scattering coefficients, anisotropy factor.
Continuing investigation of features and properties of optical electronic devices, which uses ellipsoidal reflectors (ER) as the optical core of informational and measuring system of biomedical photometer [20-22], the current report represents results of series of practical experiments. These results allow investigating additional information about the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with turbid biological media according to the light scattering optics.
The document represents investigation of biological tissues by methods of light scattering optics in experimental conditions in vitro or ex vivo. In the research there were set hypotheses and limitations for proper introduction of measured values into mathematical model. The layer of tissue under investigation contains top and bottom boundaries, and internal region. The thickness of internal region is small relatively to its perimeter. BT surface (the boundary between the media) usually have roughness of different size comparing to wavelength. In such case, the external specular and/or diffuse reflection from it is possible. There occurs scattering inside the BT during the passing of light beam through the surface. Such process occurs until the total absorption, or appearing of light beam outside of the sample in the form of internal diffuse reflection or transmission. The main goal of such experiment is minimizing of external component impact (especially diffuse) on the resulting spatial distribution of scattered light. Such conditions can be created experimentally by several ways:
- put the sample of BT between glass elements with polished surfaces [23-25] with the sizes of fine irregularities less than the radiation wavelength
- creation of physiologic experiment conditions by placing of the sample inside the physiologic liquids [26].
Experiment under in vivo conditions involve thick (semi-infinite) biologic sample under investigation. The light flux, registered in opposite to incident radiation direction, consist of a passed through the surface and interacted with the media part, and a reflected by the surface light. The nature of angular distribution of reflected flux defines the type of the surface and its relief [27]. The probability of light diffusion backward to the surface depends on the quantity of interactions with the media, when the photon direction changes before the moment of its absorption in scattering, and depends on the optical properties of BT [22]. Model experiment in both cases satisfies considering Fresnel conditions.
Light scattering by BT samples depends on the illumination type and have significant differences during application of diffuse or collimated flux. There apply different measuring standards for determination of reflective ability and reflection coefficient for these light methods [28]. Reflectance and the reflection coefficient depends
on the incidence angle, radiation polarization, and refractive index. These parameters determine the boundary between the two media. Refractive index and optical properties of media significantly depends from the wavelength. Optical properties of BT can be determined in the indirect method only. Thus, the measurement of the refractive index should be performed only experimentally. For many types of tissues, the problem is in the absorption and scattering. Thus, the reflection coefficient for skin equals to 10-55 % and depends on the radiation spectrum, pigmentation rate and rugosity, presence of adipose and moisture. Mentioned factors depend on the gender, age, type, and color of the skin [29].
Considering the mentioned information, the purpose of the research is investigation of the reflectance of biologic tissues by the ellipsoidal reflector method under the variable angle of the incident radiation.
Methods and tools
The research focused on specific features of realization of improved method of photometry by ellipsoidal reflectors. The target is investigation of its use for measurements of reflected and backscattered light. The method allows investigating of the optical properties of scattered media under different incident angles, and energy characteristics of incident optical radiation. For research of the method the experimental unit was constructed (Figure 1). The unit use photometric system with ellipsoid of revolution with internal mirror surface. The mirror is truncated by the focal planes orthogonally to the semi-major axis and contains specific longitudinal slot (Figure 2) for receiving of optical radiation under variable angles. Ellipsoidal reflector was produced by the method of trajectory copying [30]. Additionally, authors investigated other technologies of shape formation of internal ellipsoidal mirror surface [31] and photometer production [22].
The unit contain mechanism for micrometric height regulation for investigation of BT with various thicknesses. Experimental unit operates by the method of photometry in reflected light [20]. The condition of semi-infinite thickness of BT sample satisfies by the application of black opaque lining with absorption coefficient close to 0.99.

The adjustment device aligns reflector, optical system, and CCD camera referring to horizontal baseline. The change of energetic characteristics of incident radiation performs by regulation of power by universal power source, which further supplies to laser diodes with the wavelength 405 nm, 532 nm, and 650 nm. The nominal power of each diode equal to 5 mW. Unit consists of base 1 with fitted perpendicular to it bar 2. To this bar attached the height regulation mechanism 3. It is worm gear with dovetail 5, and is actuated by the flywheel 4.

Mechanism 3 consists of three disks, one of which is a cap 6 for fixing of all disks, and two others acts as a fastening for laser module 7. The aperture in the bottom part of the module applies for ensuring of necessary laser beam diameter. In the experimental unit it equals to 1 mm. In addition,
stand have subject stage 11, which is fastened to the horizontal regulation block 13 by worm gear and dovetail 14. Longitudinal displacement performs during rotation of flywheel 15. Subject stage fits horizontally, and precise regulation performs by adjustment screws 12. The measuring base of the stand is ellipsoidal reflector 9, which is mounted on the BT holder 10 during experiment. The unit adjustment performs before measurements for ensuring of horizontal mounting of subject stage, sample, and reflector. The height of laser block regulates for variable thickness of BT sample. In the holder installs reflector 9 align with CCD camera 8 for ellipsoidal CCD-reflectometry [20]. Images are registered under different incident angles of laser beam and analyzed by specialized software.
Considering axial symmetry of vertically oriented ellipsoid of revolution, the determination of operating range of incident angles performs with using of ellipse equation:
x2 z 2 ,
~ + U = 1 a b
where a and b - semi-minor and semi-major axis of ellipse.
Considering expression of ellipse through its eccentricity e, focal parameter p and focal distance f it is possible to determine the points of its intersection with straight lines, which contains ultimate points of critical angles (Figure 3):

It is important to note that the coordinate x2 determines the value of minimum angle in case of slant height for top slot forming part (Figure 3). If slant height is parallel to the axis x (Figure 2), the minimum angle determines from the simple trigonometric dependency.
Equations (2) are valid for lines, which contains optical axis of incident ray. During the calculation of critical incident angles there considers radius of real laser beam and increase minimal and decrease maximal angles correspondingly.
Heights h and h2 are technological dimensions and are selected for ensuring of ER shape support depending on the detail production material. For current investigation it was used construction alloy ENAW-2024; and heights \ and (f - \) were selected in the range 2-4 mm.
Based on the mechanism of image processing at ellipsoidal photometry [32], the methodology of photometric image analysis during angular photometry by ellipsoidal reflector was improved. The processing scheme (Figure 4), except of region of interest and external ring Al, also contains ellipse of incident flux A2 and area of collimated reflection A3.

For the applied ellipsoidal reflector parameters (eccentricity e = 0.6, focal parameter p = 18 mm, and focal distance f = 16.5 mm) and laser beam of diameter 1 mm, the operational range of angle of incident ray equals to 12.5-62.5°.
Based on the received images for both samples of muscle tissues (porcine and chicken) at the wavelength 405 and 532 nm, the dynamic change of incident flux ellipse shape performs according to laws of geometric optics for reflecting surface. At the same time, the shape of spot of incident flux at the wavelength of 650 nm is close to elliptic only for big incident angles. This fact explains the dependency of backscattered radiation more from the optical properties (Table) inside the tissue itself then from the surface properties and sub-surface layers.

Figure 7 - Illuminance of area of collimated reflection for Type 1 (a) and Type 2 (b) samples of muscle tissues for wavelength 405 nm (blue line), 532 nm (green line), and 650 nm (red line)
Analysis of Figure 7a represent that collimated reflection at the wavelength 650 nm generate smaller illuminance of corresponding zone for Type 1 muscle tissue under all investigated angles of incident light. From the other side, the illuminance of the same zone for the chicken muscle tissue samples is significantly bigger comparing to illuminance on the wavelengths
405 nm and 532 nm in the range of incident angles 20-40°. Graphs for Type 2 tissues with the increasing of incidence angle continues to grow with different acceleration until reaching of definite angle. After increasing of that angle there occurs decline with different velocity. Authors explain this by the reaching of specific "critical" angle, under which in the ellipsoidal reflector there observes doubled reflection from the opposite side. Due to slot presence on this side, the radiation leaves the measuring core of photometer with ER. The absence of mentioned peak of illuminance for porcine muscle tissue indicates that it possibly present in the incident angles, which exceeds the working range of angles for mounted mirror ellipsoid of revolution (Figure 2). At the same time, characteristic view of graphs for both tissues proofs the relative interconnection between optical properties of muscle tissues in the defined wavelengths [7]. Note that in the current research there are specified results of angular photometry for thick muscle tissue samples. The efficiency of application of ellipsoidal reflector was proved only for maximum consolidation of reflected collimated flux. However, experiments proved the same efficiency for the sample thickness less than 1 mm. Also, we can receive the useful information from the component of external ring 42.
Conclusion
The specificities of angular photometry by ellipsoidal reflectors was investigated in the current research. Experiments was done for samples of both type of muscle tissue at wavelengths 405 nm, 532 nm, and 650 nm. The investigated method allows qualitative estimation of influence of internal or surface layers of biologic tissues optical properties on the light scattering under variable angles of incident radiation by the shape of zone of incident light. Illuminance of collimated reflection area for various wavelengths mutually correlates with the optical properties of biologic tissues. The determination of properties of such correlation refers to the creation of adequate interaction model of optical radiation with layers of biologic tissues, and boundaries of its distribution with correct consideration of parameters of laser radiation and incident angle.
