We performed Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) imaging microscopy of endogeneous
myosin-rich and collagen-rich tissues in amphibian and mammals. We determined the …

The structure of a planar supported lipid bilayer (PSLB) prepared by the Langmuir− Blodgett
(LB)/Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) method was investigated by sum-frequency vibrational …

A nonlinear optical effect of a second harmonic generation (SHG) was first observed in
quartz and then found in many inorganic materials that have an asymmetric crystalline …

The polarization dependence of second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy is used to
uncover structural information in different muscle cells in a living Caenorhabditis elegans (C …

Collagen and myosin fibrils are endogenous harmonophores that both give rise to Second
Harmonic Generation (SHG). By combining four polarization SHG images provided by a …

Starch granules are among the brightest natural second harmonic generation (SHG)
converters. They basically consist of amylose and amylopectin molecules and the source of …

Second harmonic generation (SHG) from membrane-bound chromophores can be used to
image membrane potential in neurons. We investigate the biophysical mechanism …

Fast imaging of molecular changes under high-resolution and label-free conditions are
essential for understanding in-vivo processes, however, current techniques are not able to …

Neuronal death can be preceded by progressive dysfunction of axons. Several pathological
conditions such as ischemia can disrupt the neuronal cytoskeleton. Microtubules are basic …

In this paper we provide, for the first time to our knowledge, the effective orientation of the
SHG source in cultured cortical neuronal processes in vitro. This is done by the use of the …
