Abstract
⺠IR super-resolution image of cross section of a human black hair were measured. ⺠For the amide III band, human hair gave strong VSFG signals at the cortex area. ⺠Distribution of α-helix based quaternary structure of keratin proteins was observed. ⺠The VSFG signal disappeared completely when the amide I band was monitored. ⺠The α-helix of keratin proteins is well aligned along the axial direction in hair.
