Collagen fibres as seen in the human cervix using Second Harmonic Generation. SHG signal of collagen shows less alignment of collagen fibres in premenopausal (top) than in postmenopausal samples (bottom) of cervical tissue. Cervical samples were imaged with confocal microscope, and representative images are shown. All images correspond to central areas of the cervix. Amplifier gain and offset were adjusted individually for each image to improve visualisation of collagen fibres but power excitation was kept constant
