H&E and SHG • Protocol • Thaw & fix sample • Section sample to 200 microns on a vibratome • Image with SHG • Paraffin embed tissue wafer • Section and stain for H&E • Slide scan • Green = SHG signal (Collagen Type I)
Normal Associated Tissue H&E SHG 11.6 mm
Invasive Ductal Carcinoma SHG H&E
Fibroadenoma H&E SHG
Mucinous Carcinoma 7.5 mm H&E SHG
Intrinsic Fluorescence • Green = SHG • Red = Autofluorescence from FAD or Collagen type III
Extrinsic Fluorescence • Green = SHG (Collagen type I) • Red = E-Cadherin stained cells & Autofluorescence from Collagen type III
