Embodiment
Referring to Fig. 1, the scanning confocal microscope that the present invention relates to is measured the laser confocal scanning microscope system that object lens constitute, and comprises light-source system and measuring system; Described light-source system includes light source 1, and first optical filter 2, convergent lens 3, first pin hole 4, collimation lens 5, neutral colour filter 6, spectroscope 9 and observing system 10 are arranged on the light path of light source 1;
Measuring system includes microcobjective 7, and microcobjective 7 is provided with second optical filter 11, light collecting lens 12, second pin hole 13, photodetector 14, amplifying circuit 15;
The microcobjective 7 of measuring system and test sample product 10 are aimed at;
Sample stage is used to place sample 10, and this sample stage comprises that mainly z is to scanning mechanism, rotating mechanism and X displacement platform; Sample stage links to each other with a computing machine 16, and computing machine 16 links to each other with the amplifying circuit 15 of measuring system.
Wherein, the X displacement platform is measured objective lens optical axis perpendicular to scanning confocal microscope, and z is parallel to scanning confocal microscope to scanning mechanism and measures objective lens optical axis.
Laterally move by stepper motor or servomotor and realize that rotation is realized by electric rotating machine.
Said confocal scan microscope can be reflective (as shown in Figure 1) also can make transmission-type.
Amplifying circuit 15 adopts the amplifying circuit of this area routine.
Referring to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is sample worktable transversal scanning movement locus of the present invention (face interscan method) synoptic diagram.The light that light source 1 sends is selected the light of required wave band by first optical filter 2, this light converges to first pin hole 4 by convergent lens 3, filtered back then produces directional light by collimation lens 5, enters microcobjective 7 through neutral colour filter 6 and spectroscope 9, shines on the tested exemplar 8 again; Light by sample 8 scatterings turns back to lens 7, arrives observing system 10 through a spectroscope part again, and a part arrives photodetectors 14 by second optical filter 11, light collecting lens 12 and pin hole 13.If the measured point of the correspondence of first pin hole 4, second pin hole 13 and sample 8 is in conjugation, the light intensity value maximum that detects of detector then.Tested sampling point to sample 8 correspondences carries out axial scan by computing machine 16 control Z to scanning mechanism, can find its corresponding conjugate points position.But, just must carry out point by point scanning for whole exemplar is measured.Characteristics of the present invention just are its scanning new method.Transversal scanning all is the scanning of adopting mutually perpendicular bidimensional X, Y direction in the scan method in the past, and the present invention adopts the method for one dimension rotation and one dimension translation to realize transversal scanning.After as accompanying drawing 2,2 (a) expression rotating mechanism 18 sample 8 whenever being turned around, x direction displacement platform 19 makes sample 8 move a fixed range along the x direction, is scanned up to the face of whole sample 8 to finish.If the initial alignment point of sample 8 is its center A, then the x direction of scanning can just can be born, and locates up to scanning maximum magnitude (circumference at B point place); If initial alignment point is edge's (B point as shown in FIG.), then the x direction of scanning is for to move towards the center of sample 8, till the A point of sample center.Move a fixed range and the analyzing spot movement locus that obtains in the x direction when Fig. 2 (b) expression rotating mechanism 18 makes sample 8 rotate a week, with the same reason of Fig. 2 (a), starting point can be the A point, also can be the B point.After transversal scanning is finished, finish to scanning mechanism 17 and axial move the transversal scanning of following one deck by Z.Hocket successively axially and transversal scanning, until the scanning of finishing whole exemplar measurement range.
Below in conjunction with embodiment feasibility of the present invention is analyzed.
Suppose and use enlargement factor to be 40X, numerical aperture is 0.65 microcobjective, the about 0.43 μ m of its horizontal theoretical resolution.We set horizontal sampling interval is 0.5 μ m, and promptly the fixed range that at every turn moves of x direction is 0.5 μ m, is 0.5 μ m also in adjacent 2 circumference distance of each circumference up-sampling.Photodetector 14 in the system adopts photomultiplier, because the response time of photomultiplier transit light is 10 -9The s magnitude is so can guarantee the consistance of each sampled point time shutter by controlling of sampling.The cross measure scope is set at 250 μ m (the visual field size that is equivalent to the 40X microcobjective).So the x direction moves 250/2/0.5=250 (individual interval), mean that also corotation moving 250 changes.If rotating mechanism 18 makes that the rotating speed of sample 8 is 1000 revolutions per seconds, and the scan mode of employing Fig. 2 (a), the time of then finishing a whole transversal scanning is 250 * 1000 -1=0.25 (s), even 100 layers of axial scans like this, the needed time only is 25s.As seen this method not only can guarantee scanning accuracy also raising greatly of its sweep velocity simultaneously, satisfies the demand of actual measurement fully.
