Abstract
Knowledge of the interaction between the constituents of loaded aortic tissues is crucial to expand our understanding of load-bearing mechanisms in the aorta. We have therefore developed a procedure that enables simultaneous multi-photon microscopy imaging of collagen and elastin in human aortic tissue during the biaxial extension test. The microscopy images obtained were verified with the results of the histological staining. The mechanical response was also compared with findings from previously performed biaxial extension tests. The proposed pipeline has shown successful and has great potential for structural analysis of human aortic tissue.
