Abstract
Applying scanning optical harmonic microscopy to biological tissue for the first time, we have discovered that the macroscopic polarity of rat‐tail tendon is due to a coherent network of discrete polar structures. This finding permits isolation of these structures for further detailed analysis, which should lead to their complete characterization and thus to a solution of the twenty‐year‐old mystery of connective tissue polarity.
