Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful tool for tissue specimen investigation. Its nondestructive and label-free character enables direct determination of biochemical composition of samples. Furthermore, the introduction of polarization enriches this technique by the possibility of molecular orientation study apart from purely quantitative analysis. Most of the molecular orientation studies focused on polymer samples with a well-defined molecular axis. Here, a four-polarization approach for Herman's in-plane orientation function and azimuthal angle determination was applied to a human tissue sample investigation for the first time. Attention was focused on fibrous tissues rich in collagen because of their cylindrical shape and established amide bond vibrations. Despite the fact that the tissue specimen contains a variety of molecules, the presented results of molecular ordering and orientation agree with the theoretical prediction based on sample composition and vibration directions.
