Abstract
Polarization-resolved second harmonic generation (PSHG) microscopy is a powerful technique capable of differentiating biological tissues as well as determining ultrastructural parameters important to the biological function of the tissue. As such, PSHG microscopy is particularly useful in biomedical research. Here, innovative and developing PSHG microscopy techniques and their application in the field of biomedicine are described. The polarization-resolved SHG microscopy techniques include modulation of laser linear polarization, circular dichroism, double Stokes Mueller polarimetry, and detection of outgoing linear laser polarization. These techniques have been used to investigate collagenous tissues, muscle tissue, and much more. This chapter concludes with an outlook of the future of PSHG microscopy and briefly describes advances being performed to use this technique for in vivo functional tissue studies.
