| Research Abstract |
Aims of this research project are to develop new microscopes utilizing non-linear optical effect induced by an ultra-short pulse laser and to observe molecular imaging of the biological specimen without unwanted staining treatment. We have developed a high-quality SHG microscope and CARS microscope, and following results have been obtained using these microscopes : (1) Age-dependency of collagen distribution in human skin was observed with the SHG microscope. This microscope was also applied to evaluate quality of cartilage cultured in collagen gel. (2) CARS image of Hela cell was demonstrated. Also repair of cell membrane was traced in time based on the CARS images.
