Abstract
We propose a new optical method to indicate distribution of structural orientation of the collagen in biological tissue. This method is based on a two-dimensional imaging of collagen-induced second-harmonic-generation (SHG) light. To evaluate the proposed system, collagen distribution profiles in several human tissues are examined.
