Chiral imaging of collagen by second-harmonic generation circular dichroism

Abstract: We provide evidence that the chirality of collagen can give rise to strong second-harmonic generation circular dichroism (SHG-CD) responses in nonlinear microscopy. Although chirality is an intrinsic structural property of collagen, most of the previous studies ignore that property. We demonstrate chiral imaging of individual collagen fibers by using a laser scanning microscope and type-I collagen from pig ligaments. 100% contrast level of SHG-CD is achieved with sub-micrometer spatial resolution. As a new con… Show more

“…When susceptibilities are complex and the measurements are performed using linear polarizations, the real and imaginary parts of the susceptibility tensor are not separable, and the measured susceptibilities scale with the cosine of the phase difference between the susceptibility components . Previously modeled χxyz2 values from SHG‐CD measurements used different assumptions, which gave slightly larger values than our measurements . For extraction of complex susceptibility values, double Stokes‐Mueller polarimetry measurements can be employed, where the SHG Stokes vector is measured for a set of linear, circular and elliptical incoming polarization states .…”

“…In this paper, we extend our previous work to a more general symmetry class C 6 and extract the chiral component ratio of collagen, C=χxyz()2/χzxx()2. Chiroptical properties of collagen have been previously studied using circular polarizations via SHG circular dichroism (SHG‐CD) in thin films and tissues . In this study, we use linear polarizations to deduce the chiral ratio, C=χxyz()2/χzxx()2, of collagen in a tissue sample.…”

“…On the other hand, SHG is a popular technology that has gained a lot of attention more recently, and it is regularly being used for other softer tissues such as tendon [108], cartilage [112] or intervertebral disc [110]. However, similarly to PLM, SHG cannot be employed to quantitatively determine the collagen density and, hence, to derive the DO of the fibrils, but provides the in-plane [115] and/or out-of-plane [116] orientation in a semi-quantitative way [117].…”
