2D polarization fluorescence imaging (2DPOLIM) provides complete in-plane evaluation of the polarization state of the sample[1,2], giving access to macromolecular arrangement in the range of 2-10 nm via Förster resonance energy transfer between similar fluorophores (homo-FRET, emFRET). Phalloidin-dye complexes map the structure of F-Actin, by binding specifically. We applied 2DPOLIM to phalloidin-DY490 stained liver tissue of mice from different treatment groups in the context of polymicrobial sepsis[1,3]. Qualitative analysis showed significant differences in the molecular arrangement of F-actin in agreement with the survival of the animals. Further information will be obtained from comparing the experimental data to a series of simulations[2]. -- Funding by DAAD-GSSP, DFG-Ta1049/2, Interdisziplinäre Zentrum für Klinische Forschung Jena (AMSP-05). -- [1] D.
