In vivo visualization of dermal collagen fiber in skin burn by collagen-sensitive second-harmonic-generation microscopy.
Optical assessment of skin burns is possible with second-harmonic-generation (SHG) microscopy due to its high sensitivity to thermal denaturation of collagen molecules. In contrast to previous studies that were performed using excised tissue specimens ex vivo, in vivo observation of dermal collagen fibers in living rat burn models with SHG microscopy is demonstrated. Changes in signal vanishing...
متن کاملInterferometric second harmonic generation microscopy.
We describe a novel second harmonic generation (SHG) microscope that employs heterodyne detection by interfering the epi directed SHG from a sample with SHG from a reference crystal. In addition, the microscope provides complementary reflectance information based on optical coherence microscopy (OCM). The instrument features dual balanced detection to minimize the effect of source fluctuations,...
متن کاملEstimation of helical angles of myosin and collagen by second harmonic generation imaging microscopy.
We performed Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) imaging microscopy of endogeneous myosin-rich and collagen-rich tissues in amphibian and mammals. We determined the relative components of the macroscopic susceptibility tensor chi((2)) from polarization dependence of SHG intensity. The effective orientation angle theta(e) of the harmonophores has been determined for each protein. For myosin we foun...
متن کاملAnalysis of collagen fiber domain organization by Fourier second harmonic generation microscopy.
We present an automated and systematic two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform (2D-FFT) approach to analyze collagen fiber organization through the use of second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy. Average orientations of individual domains and Ising-like order parameters introduced to characterize the correlation between orientations of adjacent domains may be used to quantitatively chara...
متن کاملChiral imaging of collagen by second-harmonic generation circular dichroism
We provide evidence that the chirality of collagen can give rise to strong second-harmonic generation circular dichroism (SHG-CD) responses in nonlinear microscopy. Although chirality is an intrinsic structural property of collagen, most of the previous studies ignore that property. We demonstrate chiral imaging of individual collagen fibers by using a laser scanning microscope and type-I colla...
