%X The paper presents results related to the correlation structure of polarization images of biological tissues. The technique for measuring coordinate distribution of the degree of mutual polarization has been proposed. The topological (singular) description of polarization-inhomogeneous images of biological tissues has been analyzed. It has been shown that the average statistical size of the S-contour correlates with the half-width of autocorrelation function for the coordinate distribution of the mutual polarization degree.
