Characterization of collagen orientation in human dermis by two-dimensional second-harmonic-generation polarimetry

We have proposed an optical probe that can be used to characterize the orientation of collagen fibers in human dermis. A specific probing ability for collagen results from the use of second-harmonic-generation (SHG) light induced by collagen molecules in the tissue. Based on the concept of collagen...
