Abstract

Circular dichroism second harmonic generation microscopy (CDSHG) is a powerful imaging technique, which allows three-dimensional visualization of collagen fibril orientation in tissues. However, recent publications have obtained contradictory results on whether CDSHG can be used to reveal the relative out-of-plane polarity of collagen fibrils. Here we compare CDSHG images of unstained tendon and tendon which has been stained with hematoxylin and eosin. We find significant differences in the CDSHG between these two conditions, which explain the recent contradictory results within the literature.
