We investigate the chiral response of type I collagen using polarimetric second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy. By flipping the sample, we observe changes in the sign of the amplitude of the chiral susceptibility ratio (C), while its retardancy phase with respect to the achiral ratio (R) remains unchanged. Our findings suggest that the chiral response of collagen originates from the interaction between electric dipole moments and laser radiation. This study demonstrates the potential of polarimetric SHG microscopy for studying collagen properties and visualizing disease-related alterations.
