Internship proposal / proposition de stage : FDTD modeling of coherent multiphoton microscopy

Topic

Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) microscopy is an efficient technique to probe the 3D architecture of collagen, which is the main structural protein in mammals and determines the architecture of many tissues (skin, cornea, artery, bone…).  Our main recent results are the following:

- We deciphered the physical origin of SHG signal from collagen at the molecular and fibrillar scales and we measured quantitatively this response.
- We implemented polarization-resolved SHG microscopy and showed that this technique probes the fibrils orientation and the orientational disorder at sub-µm scale within tissues.
- We assessed the progression of fibrotic pathologies in lung and renal tissues and characterized the 3D organization of collagen-based tissue substitutes.
- We characterized multimodal nonlinear optical signals in Human corneas and demonstrated in vivo structural imaging of rat corneas.
- We combined SHG imaging and mechanical assays to decipher the relationships between macroscopic tissue response and microscopic structure in skin and cornea.
- We implemented circular-dichroism SHG microscopy and demonstrated that it probes the polarity distribution of collagen fibrils.
- We correlated multiphoton microscopy to Infra-Red nanoscopy to characterize the denaturation of collagen to gelatin (see also application to parchments degradation).
