## Abstract In this work we aim to show how it is possible to exploit the second harmonic generation (SHG) signal for producing multimodal microscopic images of biological tissues. SHG microscopy constitutes an important tool for highβresolution, highβcontrast, threeβdimensional studies of live cel

## Differentiating Tissue Types with Second Harmonic Generation SHG is an important contrast mechanism in optical examination for thick biological tissues. Fibrous proteins, such as myosin and collagen, exhibit biophotonic crystal nature and are dominant SHG harmonophores in vertebrates. Local mol
We describe the principles and characteristics of second-harmonic generation imaging (SHGI) and explore various methods for optimization of the technique. Second-harmonic imaging is optimized for ultrashort laser pulses, high numerical aperture microscope objectives, a highly sensitive non-descanned
