Abstract
Collagen is ubiquitously found inside the human body and is the main structural protein in the Extracellular Matrix (ECM) of various tissues. In this work, we focus on the improvement instrumentation and methods used for obtaining collagen structural information in the SHG microscopy. We proposed dual liquid crystals based polarization-resolved SHG approach to address the deadlock, which breaks limitation of only working for modulating excitation angle of linear polarization but not directionality for all polarization state control. We assessed the SHG polarization excited responses of the isolated collagen type I and type II gels with quantitative analysis methods at different scale levels using our system and the results showed the potential of Dual-LC PSHG microscopy to differentiate the type of collagen based on the macroscopic SHG responses.
