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

Abstract The ratio of type III to type I collagen is important for properly maintaining functions of organs and cells. We propose a method to quantify the ratio of type III to total (type I + III) collagen (λ III ) in a given collagen fiber bundle using second harmonic generation (SHG) light. First,...

We propose a method to quantify the ratio of type III to total (type I + III) collagen (λ III ) in a given collagen fiber bundle using second harmonic generation (SHG) light. First, the relationship between SHG light intensity and the λ III of collagen gels was examined, and the slope (k 1) and SHG light intensity at 0% type III collagen (k 2) were determined.
