  • Abstract
    In this study we are demonstrating the use of third harmonic generation (THG) and second harmonic generation (SHG) in dental sections to produce unique and high-resolution images. The porous structures and collagen within the dental sections greatly facilitate observation based on THG and SHG, respectively.
