    Annotation An increased number of injury cases caused by firearms in Ukraine makes it important to improve the accuracy and objectivity of forensic medical examinations in this type of injury by using modern optical research methods, in particular, autofluorescence spectral analysis. Archival material of the Chernivtsi Regional Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination was used. The material of the study was skin sections of the entrance gunshot wounds caused by the “Fort” traumatic pistol when the muzzle of the weapon was point blank and at a close distance. The studies were performed on a stokes polarimeter modified for autofluorescence studies of biological sections. For each two-dimensional distribution of the intensity values of the laser-induced intrinsic fluorescence in histological skin sections, the statistical moments values of the 1st-4th orders and the statistical processing of the measured indicated moments set of values were calculated. It is proved that the use of modern physical and optical methods improves the accuracy and objectivity of forensic medical examinations regarding gunshot injuries.
