TL;DR: A polarization filter array and high-speed camera is applied to the imaging of biological tissues during large, dynamic deformations at 7000 frames per second to eliminate motion blur and temporal bias from the reconstructed collagen fiber alignment angle and retardation images.

We applied a polarization filter array and high-speed camera to the imaging of biological tissues during large, dynamic deformations at 7000 frames per second. The results are compared to previous measurements of similar specimens using a rotating polarizer imaging system. The polarization filter eliminates motion blur and temporal bias from the reconstructed collagen fiber alignment angle and retardation images. The polarization imaging configuration dose pose additional challenges due to the need for calibration of the polarization filter array for a given sample in the same lighting conditions as during the measurement.
