Imaging the noncentrosymmetric structural organization of tendon with Interferometric Second Harmonic Generation microscopy.

We report the imaging of tendon with Interferometric Second Harmonic Generation microscopy. We observe that the noncentrosymmetric structural organization can be maintained along the fibrillar axis over more than 150 μm, while in the transverse direction it is ∼1-15 μm. Those results are explained b...
