Embodiment one
The present embodiment provides a kind of endoscope, as shown in Figure 1, the endoscope includes probe 110, light supply apparatus 120, output End 130 and flexible connector 140.Flexible connector 140 divides probe 110 with light supply apparatus 120 and output terminal 130 It does not connect and is configured as the optical transport for sending out light supply apparatus 120 to 110 and the 110 reflected lights biographies received that will pop one's head in of popping one's head in Output terminal 130 is transported to, so as to be observed in output terminal 130 or form image using other devices (spectral analysis device). Probe 110 includes dispersion means 112 and scanning means 114;Dispersion means 112 are used for being transmitted to probe from light supply apparatus 120 110 light is converged and increases effect of dispersion, so as to make to be transmitted to different waves in the light of probe 110 from light supply apparatus 120 Long ingredient can be in the different deep focus of sample to be tested 200;Scanning means 114 is used for being transmitted to spy from light supply apparatus 120 First 110 light is into horizontal deflection to be scanned to sample to be tested 200.
In endoscope provided in this embodiment, the white light that light supply apparatus is sent out can be under the action of scattered color device to be measured The different depth of sample focuses on, so as to obtain the information of sample to be tested different depth and realize that color chromatographs.It can pass through as a result, The devices such as spectral analysis device analyze the intensity signal of sample to be tested different depth position and obtain chromatography information, and can Scanning comprehensively is carried out so as to synthesize the stereo-picture of sample to be tested by scanning means.Also, endoscope has small grade for spies Point under the premise of noninvasive, can be imaged for internal sample to be tested.
For example, as shown in Figure 1, dispersion means 112 can be dispersing lens, for example, the lens with larger axial chromatic aberration.When So, the embodiment of the present invention includes but not limited to this, and dispersion means 112 can also be that other have the function of aggregation feature and with dispersion Device.
For example, as shown in Figure 1, scanning means 114 can be scanning mirror.Certainly, the embodiment of the present invention includes but not limited to this, Scanning means 114 can also be other devices with scanning function.
For example, in the endoscope provided in one example of the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, flexible connector 140 includes light It is fine.Since endoscope volume is narrow, the structure of optical system and function re-optimization are limited, using optical fiber cooperation scanning means Imaging mode overcomes existing contradiction between optical system resolution ratio and size.Also, since optical fiber belongs to flexible optical device Part and with smaller volume, can further reduce the volume of endoscope and range of its application.
For example, in the endoscope provided in one example of the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, the endoscope further includes fiber coupling Device 170.Flexible connector 140 includes first connecting portion 141, second connecting portion 142 and third connecting portion 143, and first connects The connection of socket part 141 probe 110 and fiber coupler 170, second connecting portion 142 connect fiber coupler 170 and light supply apparatus 120, third connecting portion 143 connects fiber coupler 170 and output terminal 130.First connecting portion 141 is both used to pass light as a result, Probe 110 is transported to be also used for reflected light, so as to further reduce the volume of endoscope, simplifying structure from 110 outflow of probe. For example, first connecting portion can only include an optical fiber.
For example, in the endoscope provided in one example of the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2, the endoscope further includes spectrum analysis Device 150.Spectral analysis device 150 is connected with output terminal 130 and for dividing the reflected light for being transmitted to output terminal 130 Analysis.The spectrum for being transmitted to the reflected light of output terminal can be analyzed by spectral analysis device as a result, it is current anti-so as to obtain The parameters such as light intensity of the ingredient of different wave length in light are penetrated, since the ingredient of different wave length is focused in the different depth of sample to be tested, So as to obtain intensity of reflected light of the scanning element where current reflective light under different depth, so as to restructural and obtain to be measured Chromatography information under sample different depth.For example, when endoscope provided in this embodiment uses white light sample to be tested, light Spectrum analysis device can obtain abscissa as wavelength X, and ordinate is the curve of spectrum of light intensity I.Keep intensity value I constant, by wavelength X Depth of focus h is scaled, is exactly the chromatography information of current scan point.It and then can be by the chromatography information of each scanning element spatially position It puts to be spliced and can obtain stereo-picture.
For example, in the endoscope provided in one example of the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2, probe 110 further includes shell 111.Color It is in bulk put 112 and scanning means 114 be arranged in shell 111.
For example, shell 111 can be cylinder.Certainly, this is not restricted for the embodiment of the present invention, and the shape of shell can basis Actual conditions are configured.
For example, in the endoscope provided in one example of the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2, probe 110 further includes collimating element 113, such as collimation lens.Collimating element 113 may be provided at scanning means 114 close to the side of flexible connector 140, be used for The light that probe 110 is transmitted to from light supply apparatus 120 is collimated.
For example, in the endoscope provided in one example of the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2, dispersion means 112 are arranged on scanning dress Put 114 sides far from flexible connector 140.The light for being transmitted to probe 110 from light supply apparatus 120 as a result, first passes through scanning The deflection of device 114 is converged by dispersion means 112 and increases effect of dispersion again.
For example, in the endoscope provided in one example of the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2, the endoscope may also include controller 160.Controller 160 is connected with the communication of scanning means 114 and for scanning means 114 to be controlled to be scanned.Controller as a result, 160 by controlling scanning means 114, so as to adjust the exit direction of the light projected from probe 110, so as to to be measured Sample 200 is scanned.It should be noted that above-mentioned communication connection can by wired mode also wirelessly into Row connection.
For example, in the endoscope provided in one example of the present embodiment, as shown in figure 3, light supply apparatus 120 includes white light emission Device 121.White light emitter 121 is for emitting white light, so as to the dispersion under the action of dispersing lens and in sample to be tested not Color chromatography is carried out with depth.
For example, white light emitter 121 is used to emit super continuous spectrums white light.The brightness of super continuous spectrums white light source is strong, spectral line Width, therefore signal-to-noise ratio is high, axial working range is big, and sample to be tested can be imaged deeper position.
In endoscope provided in this embodiment, realized using this different principle of different wave length corresponding focus positions empty Between different depth position focusing.For example, when light source includes three kinds of wavelength components λ1、λ2、λ3When, as shown in Fig. 2, ingredient λ1's Focus 301 can be located at the surface layer of sample to be tested 200, ingredient λ2Focus 302 and ingredient λ3Focus 303 be located at sample to be tested Inside.Since different wavelength components focus on different longitudinal regions, for this purpose, can be by the method for calibration, according to a series of Wavelength and the data of corresponding focal position, the wavelength of current imaging systems and depth of focus function table are established using the method for fitting Up to formula.After obtaining this relationship, current scan point (such as (x can be known by the image of the output of spectral analysis device1,y1)) under The respective intensity of reflected light I of three wavelength components1|x1y1、I2|x1y1、I3|x1y1, then pass through the wavelength established before and focusing Wavelength is scaled corresponding depth of focus d by depth function expression formula1、d2、d3, so as to obtain current scan point in three differences The data of respective intensity of reflected light under depth location, the i.e. restructural chromatography letter obtained under three width different depths after being scanned through Breath.Chromatography information can be obtained into stereo-picture by lengthwise position sequential concatenation, as including the graphics inside sample to be tested Picture.
For example, when using super continuous spectrums white light, since the wavelength of light source has a certain range and presents continuous Distribution, therefore a series of chromatography information in longitudinal operating distances can be obtained, chromatography information is pressed into lengthwise position sequential concatenation So as to obtain the stereo-picture of longitudinal depth bigger.
For example, in the endoscope provided in one example of the present embodiment, as shown in figure 3, light supply apparatus 120 may include that laser is sent out Emitter 122.Laser emitter 122 can emit laser, for example, laser emitter 122 can emit Autofluorescence or Raman light The laser of respective maximum excitation wavelength is composed, so as to carry out Autofluorescence and Raman spectrum detection to sample to be tested, so as to Further judge the ingredient of sample to be tested and whether normal.
For example, one example of the present embodiment provide endoscope in, as shown in figure 4, light supply apparatus 120 may include it is tunable Ultrashort pulse laser 123 and photonic crystal fiber 124.Tunable ultrashort pulse laser 123 can be with photonic crystal fiber 124 Coupling is to generate super continuous spectrums white light, to be converged under the action of dispersing lens and increase effect of dispersion in sample to be tested Different depth carries out color chromatography.Also, tunable ultrashort pulse laser 123 can individually emit laser and Wavelength tunable, For example, tunable ultrashort pulse laser 123 can emit Autofluorescence or Raman spectrum respectively maximum excitation wavelength swash Light, so as to carry out Autofluorescence and Raman spectrum detection to sample to be tested.On the other hand, tunable ultra-short pulse laser The ultrashort pulse way of output can be used in device, so as to obtain high peak power, and then can reduce detection the time of integration and The speed of detection is accelerated in the requirement of sensitivity.While signal-to-noise ratio is promoted, since the extremely low duty ratio of ultrashort pulse also is able to Mean power is reduced, avoids continuously exporting the fuel factor in the energy accumulation formation of biological tissue surface, it is thin thus, it is possible to reduce The risk that born of the same parents are damaged, improves safety.In addition, tunable ultrashort pulse laser and photonic crystal fiber coupling generate Super continuous spectrums white light spectral line width, therefore axial operating distance is long, can the deeper position imaging to sample to be tested.
