Popis: Label-free combined CARS and SHG microscopy techniques are used as powerful tool to follow the cells behavior in cell-scaffold construct for regeneration of tissues. Imaging of histological section of hDFs seeded in fibrin gel scaffold and imaging of collagen produced by hDFs in a time course experiment at different culture days (0, 7, 21, 42) is performed. A study on the limit of collagen detection of the imaging system is reported using sample prepared with different collagen concentrations. The results show that also the small amount of collagen produced by hDFs after few hours of incubation in fibrin gel is detected. Co-localization of hDFs and collagen is also reported in function of the culture days.
