6.1 Introduction
Second harmonic generation (SHG) imaging microscopy has great potential for visualization of disease
states where there is change in collagen structure. is is because SHG, as a second-order nonlinear
optical process, requires a noncentrosymmetric environment, and tissue alterations modify the overall
symmetry of the collagen architecture. Specically, SHG is an exquisitely sensitive probe of the brillar
structure in tissues as it directly visualizes the supramolecular assembly, over the size scale of collagen
brils to bers, that is, from ~50 nm to a few microns. While there are approximately 20 isoforms of
collagen, t ...
