High numerical aperture imaging allows chirality measurement in individual collagen fibrils using polarization second harmonic generation microscopy

Second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy is a commonly used technique to study the organization of collagen within tissues. However, individual collagen fibrils, which have diameters much smaller than the resolution of most optical systems, have not been extensively investigated. Here we probe th...
