The microscopic structural origins of optical properties in biological media are still not fully
understood. Better understanding these origins can serve to improve the utility of existing …

Polarization-gating has been widely used to probe superficial tissue structures, but the
penetration depth properties of this method have not been completely elucidated. This study …

Two‐photon excitation autofluorescence (produced in myocytes) and second‐harmonic
generation (produced mainly by collagen) allow label‐free visualization of these two …

Accurate data on in vivo tissue optical properties in the ultraviolet A (UVA) to visible (VIS)
range are needed to elucidate light propagation effects and to aid in identifying safe …

Spectral reflectance measurements of biological tissues have been studied for early
diagnoses of several pathologies such as cancer. These measurements are often performed …

The nerve fiber bundles constitutive of the white matter in the brain are organized in such a
way that they exhibit a certain degree of structural anisotropy and birefringence. The …

Rotating orthogonal polarization imaging is a new technique that provides quantitative
measurements of the polarization properties of scattering media, such as tissue, which are …

We measured the optical properties of muscular tissue using several methods. Collimated
transmission measurements of thin slabs showed spatial anisotropy of the scattering …
