From: Second harmonic generation light quantifies the ratio of type III to total (I + III) collagen in a bundle of collagen fiber

Figure 2

SHG intensity ISHG-λIII linearly decreases with an elevation of λIII. (al) Typical SHG images of collagen gels captured in backward (af) and forward (gl) photomultiplier tubes. The λIII was changed for each gel. Scale bar = 100 µm for all images. (m) Plot showing the relationship between SHG light intensity and λIII. (n) Forward/backward ratio of SHG light intensity plotted against λIII.
