Description

The secondary light scattering method detects the method and apparatus of particle flying speed in the cell instrument
Technical field
The present invention relates to detect the imaging cytometer instrument.Specifically, relate to method and the device for carrying out said that the secondary light scattering method detects particle flying speed in the cell instrument.
Background technology
Present technique is mainly used in the imaging cytometer instrument, and the imaging cytometer instrument is evolved from traditional flow cytometer.Traditional flow cytometer is a kind ofly to be used for pair cell or particle is analyzed and sorting, thereby reaches the instrument that carries out early stage medical diagnosis on disease (as cancer) or purposes such as pair cell influence such as research drugs, ray from cellular level.This instrument the time needs pair cell or particle to carry out the specific fluorescence mark in work, and computing machine is determined the physics and the chemical information of cell or particle by scattered light and fluorescence information, thereby operating personnel can't see the real image of cell or particle.For addressing these problems, the imaging cytometer instrument can realize taking in the short time a large amount of particles, may observe cell or particle true picture and individual cells or particle functions such as " souvenirs of taking pictures " one by one.
Imaging cytometer instrument technology is that blood sample after the dilution or other biological are learned sample, spray from micropore nozzle with sheath fluid (parcel blood sample), use high speed photography that the particle in the jet flow is taken pictures one by one, use identification, classification and the counting of image processing techniques realization again particle.
The velocity survey of the particle in the blood sample that the measurement of so-called " particle flying speed " refers to be wrapped up by sheath fluid in fact in the present technique, and the speed of particle must be decided by to wrap up its sheath fluid, in fact also promptly adjusts particle speed so adjust sheath fluid speed.The measurement effect of particle flying speed has two:
1, in the imaging cytometer instrument, sample and sheath stream need be very stable from the speed of nozzle ejection, and in order to stablize flow stream velocity, at first will measure flow stream velocity.
2, in the imaging cytometer instrument, camera shutter and flashlamp must enter the proper timing unlatching of photographed region at the particle that is taken.Realize this purpose, at first need to detect the arrival of particle, its less important its flying speed of in time measuring is so that the moment that decision camera shutter and flashlamp start.
In the tradition low cytometric analysis, also need to stablize the speed that sample goes out from nozzle ejection.For this reason, also need to measure nozzle velocity,, by regulating pressure or the additive method in sample pool or the sheath flow pool, stablize jet velocity again so that for jetting system provides feedback parameter.
In tradition flow cytometer and the imaging cytometer instrument, existing flow-speed measurement method can be divided into two classes.One class needs at least two laser instruments, as in-vivo imaging flow cytometer (In Vivo Imaging Flow Cytometer) is to come computing velocity by measurement count slit and the distance that postpones the inner cell motion of imaging pulse time period, this method need be counted the laser instrument with two functions of imaging, and for example multispectral image cell instrument (Multispectral Imaging Flow Cytometer) with velocity survey as subsystem, an and additional laser instrument in the subsystem; Another kind of speed-measuring method is to infer speed by formula, is not to measure in real time, and for example diffraction imaging flow cytometer (Diffraction Imaging Flow Cytometer) calculates speed according to vertical positions different in the fluid column by formula.
There is obvious drawback in these two kinds of existing methods: first kind of required laser instrument is more, the big and debugging difficulty increase of expense; On every picture that second kind can not guarantee take cell or particle are arranged all, because institute's degree of testing the speed might not be accurate, therefore efficient reduce.
Summary of the invention
For overcoming the deficiencies in the prior art, can carry out in real time, carry out accurately velocity survey, the technical scheme that the present invention takes is, the secondary light scattering method detects the method for particle flying speed in the cell instrument, make the directional light that two bundle distances are known as D that continues to pass through from the ejection of cell instrument nozzle, produce double scattering, received by light sensor after the scattered light line focus, the time interval T that light sensor is surveyed twice light scattering respectively and taken place by twice light scattering of electric time-keeping circuit measuring calculates the average velocity that particle flies by speed V=D/T.
The secondary light scattering method detects the device of particle flying speed in the cell instrument, comprising:
C shape bearing 2, near the sheath that flows through the nozzle ejection its center from top to bottom fast flows 1;

Lens are positioned on the C type bearing 2, are used to focus on scattered light, shine after the focusing on the photosensor 7 at lens rear;
Photosensor 7 converts scattered light signal to electric signal;
Subsequent conditioning circuit is used for according to speed V=D/T, and T is the scattered light signal time interval, calculates the average velocity V of particle flight.
Laser tube is the laser instrument parallel light tube, and the laser beam cross-section of generation is a rectangle or near the ellipse of rectangle.
Described device, during Installation and Debugging, whether have laser penetrate, have only when when slit B observes the laser that reflects if can observe at slit B place, illustrate that just the whole optical path adjusting is correct.
Its characteristics of the present invention are:
1, only use a laser instrument can produce desired two bundle collimated laser beams.On the one hand, reduce and use the number of laser instrument effectively to cut down cost, because the laser price still accounts for larger specific gravity than whole cell instrument cost at present; On the other hand, the combination of a laser and a right-angle prism is than two easier debugging of laser: during Installation and Debugging, cover slit B with thin paper, start laser instrument, adjust the position of laser instrument, when having laser facula and facula area maximum on the thin paper at slit B place, show that this moment, laser instrument was in the optimum position, fixing locked laser instrument gets final product.Article two, light is inevitable parallel, if with two laser instruments, then can not guarantee.

Embodiment
The present invention adopts light scattering principle to realize.When continuing to pass through to produce when two bundle distances are known as the directional light of D, same particle respectively produces primary scattering, can be received by light sensor after the scattered light line focus, the time interval T that light sensor is surveyed twice light scattering respectively and taken place by twice light scattering of electric time-keeping circuit measuring calculates the average velocity that particle flies by V=D/T.
The following (see figure 1) of technical scheme:
From the liquid of nozzle ejection is the blood sample that is wrapped up by sheath stream 1.Blood sample is through repeatedly dilution, and concentration is less, thereby each particle or iuntercellular distance is bigger in the blood, thereby allows this device that the flight time of each sample is calculated from each particle of nozzle ejection or the spacing of cell.Sheath stream 1 is with ring shape parcel blood sample, and in the present technique measurement range, the sheath fluid that flows still can be considered cylinder, thereby sheath fluid speed can be considered particle speed, and this condition makes regulates particle rapidity and become rational method by regulating air pressure.
The sheath stream 1 of nozzle ejection flows through near C shape bearing 2 centers of measurement mechanism from top to bottom fast.The slit A that the incident beam 4 that laser tube 3 sends passes on C shape bearing 2 one sides enters C shape bearing 2, shine sheath and flow the slit A ' that enters a relative side with light incident side on the C shape bearing 2 after 1, penetrate after right-angle prism 5 twice reflection become outgoing beam 6 from slit, outgoing beam 6 passes with slit A ' and is positioned at C shape bearing 2 homonymies and slit B ' above it, sheath stream 1, and penetrates with slit A homonymy and slit B above it from bearing 2.Incident beam 4 is parallel with outgoing beam 6, and distance is determined by the distance of slit A on the C shape bearing 2 and B, and is known as D.
Particle in the sheath stream 1 ejects from nozzle with sheath stream 1, enters C shape support and along its downward injection.By preceding as can be known described, sheath stream 1 and particle pass light beam with twice: pass the outgoing beam 6 that is positioned at the top for the first time, pass the incident beam 4 that is positioned at the below for the second time.When particle passes outgoing beam 6, produce a light scattering.The lens (be positioned at C type bearing on) of scattered light through being positioned at the adjacent side of slit of two opposite sides focus on, and shine on the photosensor 7 at lens rear, and photosensor 7 converts this scattered light signal to electric signal, i.e. electric pulse.Equally, when particle 7 moves downward when passing incident beam 4, also produce a light scattering, photosensor 9 is exported an electric impulse signal too.
Can measure recurrent interval T after two electric pulses are handled by follow-up electronic circuit, thereby according to V=D/T, subsequent conditioning circuit can calculate the average velocity V of particle flight, the motion of particle here can be similar to regards linear uniform motion as.
The xsect of the laser beam 4 that laser instrument 3 sends is rectangle or approximate rectangle, behind the enough 5 liang of secondary reflections of right-angle prism of width, the xsect of emergent light 6 also is rectangle substantially or is similar to rectangle, such design can reduce incident light and reflected light aiming difficulty greatly, makes no matter the particle of what position all can scattering laser in sheath fluid.
To sum up, the present invention:
1, only use a laser instrument can produce desired two bundle collimated laser beams. On the one hand, reduce and use the number of laser instrument effectively to cut down cost, because the laser price still accounts for larger specific gravity than whole cell instrument cost at present; On the other hand, the combination of a laser and a right-angle prism is than two easier debugging of laser: during installation and debugging, cover slit B with thin paper, start laser instrument, adjust the position of laser instrument, when having laser facula and facula area maximum on the thin paper at slit B place, show that this moment, laser instrument was in the optimum position, fixing locked laser instrument gets final product. Article two, light is inevitable parallel, if with two laser instruments, then can not guarantee.
2, because can carry out in real time, accurately tachometric survey, in the situation of system normal operation, can guarantee all to have on every photo the image of a particle to have improved efficient, saved cost.
