From: Real-time polarization microscopy of fibrillar collagen in histopathology
TACS-2 and -3 are both present in this figure. These collagen fibers are easily identifiable in the PPM image (right) by a color contrast compared to other tissue parts, the highly aligned fibers are also seen with similar hue (purple) that are perpendicular to tumor boundary in TACS-3 region and tangential to tumor boundary in TACS-2 regions, while none of these information can be readily extracted from the BF image only. The tissue area represented in images is 692 × 519 µm.
