Maps of the Mueller polarimetry parameters [(a) Azimuth \(\alpha\) (in \(^{\circ }\)), (b) retardance R (in \(^{\circ }\)), (c) depolarization \(\Delta\)] for two of our 9 samples, chosen for their different initial mean azimuth \(<\alpha>\) (top—Sample 1, \(\langle \alpha \rangle \approx 150^{\circ }\); bottom—sample 8, \(\langle \alpha \rangle \approx 80^{\circ }\); direction of traction \(0^{\circ }\)).
