Sarcomere lengths in human extensor carpi radialis brevis measured by microendoscopy

Second‐harmonic generation microendoscopy is a minimally invasive technique to image sarcomeres and measure their lengths in humans, but motion artifact and low signal have limited the use of this novel technique.
