Image from: Blue Histology, University of Western Australia


Multiphoton image of loose connective tissue surrounding a tumor. Collagen (red) is visualized by SHG. Autofluorescence (green) derives from granule-residing flavins and fine elastic fibers. Image was acquired in collaboration with Alexander Nikitin, Dept. of Biomedical Sciences, Cornell.
