We report on the investigation of the structure of DNA liquid crystal (LC) phases by means of polarization sensitive two-photon microscopy (PSTPM). DNA was stained with fluorescent dyes, an intercalator propidium iodide, or a groove binder Hoechst 3342, and the angular dependence of the intensity of two-photon excited fluorescence emitted by the dye was collected. The local orientation of DNA molecules in cholesteric and columnar LC phases was established on the basis of the relative angle between the transition dipole of the dye and the long axis of DNA helix. Three-dimensional images of the cholesteric phase were obtained making use of the intrinsic 3D resolving ability of two-photon microscopy. We also discuss the influence of dyes on the parameters of DNA LC phases and comment on advantages and limitations of the PSTPM technique in comparison with other LC characterization techniques.
