Abstract
The present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for identifying and/or analyzing a muscle tissue of a subject. An apparatus for identifying and/or analyzing muscle tissue of the present disclosure may comprise an optical element comprising an excitation probe and a collection probe. A method for identifying or analyzing muscle tissue of the present disclosure may comprise the generation of images of a muscle tissue using signals generated from the tissue by a beam of light directed towards the muscle tissue from the excitation probe and collected by the collection probe. Signals collected by the collection probe may include forward second harmonic generation signals.
