Thegoalofthisstudywastode-terminethetypeofmorphologicalandstructuralinformationthatcouldbeacquiredaboutsilk-basedbiomaterialscaffoldsusingspectraltwophotonexciteduorescence(TPEF)andsecondharmonicgeneration(SHG)imaging.

Furthermore,theseopticaltoolkitscanalsobeextendedtootherbiomaterialmatricesasthesystemsaredevelopedandoptimized.
Silkisanaturalproteinpolymervaluedforitsbiocompat-ibility,lightweight,andstrength[34].
Processingmethodsforthispolymerarewellestablishedforcontrolofmorphology,mechanicalpropertiesandenvironmentalstability[35e38].
Duetotheseproperties,silkisanexcellentcandidateforgen-eratingbiomaterialscaffoldsforengineeredtissues.
TheBombyxmorisilkwormsilkprotein,broin,canbedescribedbytwostructuralmodels:SilkI,consistingoftypeIIbturn,randomcoildomains,andmixedstructuresincludingalphahelices,andSilkII,consistingmostlyofantiparallelbpleatedsheets[14,15].
Thebsheetcontentandthealignmentofthesebsheetcrystals,alongwiththenon-crystallinedomainsoftheprotein,areimportantdeterminantsofthebulkmechanicalpropertiesanddegradationkineticsofbiomaterialsgeneratedfromsilk[14,36,37,39e41].

Thus,thenon-invasive,opticalassess-mentofbsheetcontentandorientationofsilkbroinduringbiomaterialscaffoldformationwasoneofthespecicgoalsofthisstudy.
