Detection of subepithelial fibrosis associated with corneal stromal edema by second harmonic generation imaging microscopy.
PURPOSE Human corneas with or without stromal edema were examined by second harmonic generation (SHG) imaging microscopy to characterize stromal collagen organization. METHODS Tissue buttons from 31 corneas with stromal edema and 8 normal corneas were fixed, and 3-mm(2) blocks were cut and stained with phalloidin, to visualize the cytoskeleton. The blocks were examined by SHG imaging with a l...
متن کاملInterferometric second harmonic generation microscopy.
We describe a novel second harmonic generation (SHG) microscope that employs heterodyne detection by interfering the epi directed SHG from a sample with SHG from a reference crystal. In addition, the microscope provides complementary reflectance information based on optical coherence microscopy (OCM). The instrument features dual balanced detection to minimize the effect of source fluctuations,...
متن کاملTwo Photon Microscopy and Second Harmonic Generation
Nonlinear microscopy has become an important tool for imaging biological samples such as neurons. In two photon fluorescence, a fluorophore absorbs two photons at a low energy state, one of its electrons briefly converts to a higher energy state, and it emits a single excited photon at an energy level higher than that of the absorbed photons. In second harmonic generation (SHG), laser light is ...
متن کاملOptical recording of action potentials with second-harmonic generation microscopy.
Nonlinear microscopy has proven to be essential for neuroscience investigations of thick tissue preparations. However, the optical recording of fast (approximately 1 msec) cellular electrical activity has never until now been successfully combined with this imaging modality. Through the use of second-harmonic generation microscopy of primary Aplysia neurons in culture labeled with 4-[4-(dihexyl...
متن کاملSimultaneous four-photon luminescence, third-harmonic generation, and second-harmonic generation microscopy of GaN.
We demonstrate what is to our knowledge the first example of four-photon luminescence microscopy in GaN and apply it to quality mapping of bulk GaN. The simultaneously acquired second- and third-harmonic generation can be used to map the distribution of the piezoelectric field and the band-tail state density, respectively. Through spectrum- and power-dependent studies, the fourth power dependen...
