Abstract
The invention discloses an optical imaging device capable of deep scanning along axial direction and application thereof. The optical imaging device capable of deep scanning along axial direction comprises following members in sequence: a light source, a collimating lens, a liquid varifocus lens and an imaging lens. The collimating lens changes divergent beams of the light source into parallel beams. The liquid varifocus lens focuses the parallel beams and controls axial position of focusing spots through a driving voltage. The imaging lens images the spots which are focused through the liquid varifocus lens in the sample so as to scan in an axial direction. Compared with the existing miniature probe capable of deep scanning, the optical imaging device capable of deep scanning along axial direction can allow the imaged spots to be scanned axially in the sample through a way of changing the focal length of the liquid varifocus lens under the control of voltage without extra mechanical parts. The optical imaging device capable of deep scanning along axial direction is simple in structure so as to easily miniaturize the probe. Besides, controlling the axial deep scanning becomes easier, thereby allowing the probe to easily combine with the existing rigid endoscope into use so as to be suitable for tissue to perform confocal micro-imaging living analysis.

Detailed description of the invention
Describe the present invention in detail below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, but the present invention is not limited to this specific examples.
As shown in Figure 1, the present invention is a kind of optical imaging device that carries out vertically depth scan, comprises the lighting source, collimating lens 2, liquid zoom lens 3 and the imaging len 4 that are arranged in order.
Optics comprises collimating lens 2, and liquid zoom lens 3 and imaging len 4, introduce illumination light by optical fiber.Optical imaging device adopts confocal microscopic image pattern, and optical fiber receives backscatter signal or the fluorescence signal in the illuminated region of sample simultaneously as lighting source.Preferably, optical fiber is single-mode fiber 8.The light of exporting from single-mode fiber 8 is exactly the lighting source of axial scan optical imagery, and single-mode fiber 8 is also equivalent to the pin hole of confocal microscopic image system simultaneously, effectively filters near the backward scattered veiling glare of optical imaging system focal point.The approximate some lighting source of end face of single-mode fiber 8, it and interior one of sample are assembled luminous point (example convergent point 6,7 as shown in Figure 1) conjugation.The little luminous point of gaussian shaped profile from single-mode fiber 8 becomes collimated light beam by collimating lens 2, and this light beam can be polymerized to luminous point again by liquid zoom lens 3, and this luminous point is focused at sample inside by imaging len 4, as convergent point 6,7.Backscatter signal or fluorescence signal from these convergence luminous point 6,7 field of illuminations return along original optical path, the detector of input probe outside after finally being received by single-mode fiber 8, this is the confocal microscopic image system that a kind of typical illuminator is identical with the system of accepting.Like this, can make light that the single-mode fiber 8 of sound end face exports through optics post-concentration different depth in sample by Control of Voltage.
Liquid zoom lens 3 is automatically controlled, and the voltage being added on liquid zoom lens 3 by change changes the radius of curvature on two liquid level borders, thereby changes the focal length of liquid zoom lens 3.When collimated light beam sees through liquid zoom lens 3, assembling luminous point just will be moved vertically, as shown in Figure 1, under different voltage, make the collimated light beam of self-focus lens 2 will be along the different path transmissions of light 10 and light 11, thereby the luminous point of assembling through liquid zoom lens 3 is moved vertically, after the effect that moves through imaging len 4 of this luminous point, realizing illumination spot different depth in sample focuses on, form different convergent point 6,7, realize the axial depth scanning of luminous point.
Optical imaging device of the present invention is by the driving voltage size of the depth scan distance calibration liquid zoom lens 3 of determining, can obtain one to one definite axial scan luminous point by inputting corresponding driving voltage, this axial scan luminous point is positioned at the axial or depth direction of relative not making alive time point initial position.The zooming range 12 of zoom lens 3 depends on the voltage swing being carried on liquid zoom lens 3.Zooming range, in conjunction with the axial enlargement ratio of imaging len 4, ensures that luminous point is less than or equal to the depth scan scope of 500 microns in sample interior realization.
Collimating lens 2 and imaging len 4 are actually the battery of lens that formed by more than two or two lens combinations respectively, can ensure like this spatial resolution and the aberration that reduces imaging system of optical imaging device.The combination of liquid zoom lens 3 and collimating lens 2 makes on the focal plane of liquid zoom lens 3, to obtain the very little luminous point of distortion from the two-dimensional scan luminous point of optical-fiber two-dimensional scan module 1.The combination of liquid zoom lens 3 and imaging len 4 make illumination spot vertically moving range be less than or equal to 500 microns, preferred axial scan scope is at 100-500 micron, and the distortion of this illumination spot within the scope of whole axial scan is very little.
Described collimating lens 2, liquid zoom lens 3, imaging len 4 is encapsulated in the miniature probe 15 of rustless steel parcel.As shown in Figure 2, one end of probe 15 is provided with optical-fiber two-dimensional scan module 1, the optic fibre input end mouth of fixing single-mode fiber 8, the circuit control signal transfer wire passage 9 of liquid zoom lens 3, light path path is separated with transfer wire 13, avoid the running voltage of transmission to impact the safety of popping one's head in; The other end is sealed so that clean and sterilize by light window glass 5.The diameter of miniature probe 15 can be less than or equal to 3mm, can be placed in the instrument channel of hard hysteroscope.The scanning technique of optical-fiber two-dimensional scan module 1 can be referring to prior art, be not described in detail at this, its the outgoing luminous point that can realize single-mode fiber 8 is scanning perpendicular to the two dimensional surface of Optical devices optical axis, axial scan optical imaging device in binding probe 15, can carry out three-dimensional imaging to sample.Relation between axial scan position and the control voltage of liquid zoom lens of probe 15 can be demarcated, thereby can determine the depth location that sample message is concrete, avoid often needing feedback signal control circuit accurately to determine the depth location of scanning element in other depth scan methods, greatly simplified structure and the cost of scanning means.The great advantage of this three-dimensional imaging probe is exactly simple in structure, easily miniaturization, and scan control is simple.
By above-mentioned optical imaging device and the combination of existing endoscope, can obtain the three dimensional structure information of sample, for scope detects the microstructure information that tissue is provided.Due to small volume, therefore can pass through the biopsy channel of hard scope, be suitable for the confocal microscopic image in-vivo analysis of tissue.
