Second harmonic generation microscopy (SHG) is generally acknowledged as a powerful tool for the label-free three-dimensional visualization of tissues and advanced materials, with one of its most popular applications being collagen imaging. Despite the great need, progress in super-resolved SHG imaging lags behind the developments reported over the past years in fluorescence-based optical nanoscopy. In this work, we demonstrate super-resolved re-scan SHG, qualitatively and quantitatively showing on collagenous tissues the available resolution advantage over the diffraction limit. We introduce as well super-resolved re-scan two-photon excited fluorescence microscopy, an imaging modality not explored to date.
二次谐波产生显微镜 (SHG) 通常被认为是一种强大的工具,可用于无标记的组织和先进材料的三维可视化,其最受欢迎的应用之一是胶原蛋白成像。尽管有巨大的需求,但在超分辨 SHG 成像方面的进展落后于过去几年中基于荧光的光学纳米技术的发展。在这项工作中,我们展示了超分辨再扫描 SHG,定性和定量地显示在胶原组织上相对于衍射极限的可用分辨率优势。我们还介绍了超分辨再扫描双光子激发荧光显微镜,这是一种迄今为止尚未探索的成像模式。
