Description

Background
When the microscope is used for observing the measured object, the microscopic part of the measured object can be clearly observed, and reliable data is provided for observation, so that the microscope plays a significant role in the field needing to carry out microscopic observation. Before observing the measured object by using the microscope, the microscope and the measured object need to be focused, and the focused microscope can be used for observing the measured object more clearly and accurately.
In the prior art, focusing is generally performed manually or automatically, the manual focusing mode has the defects of low efficiency and low accuracy, the automatic focusing mode performed by using a microscope can improve the focusing efficiency, but when a measured object is a transparent object, the surface of the measured object has defects or holes exist on the surface of the measured object, the focusing accuracy cannot be ensured. For example, in the prior art, a microscope performs auto-focusing by using a laser triangulation method, specifically, a laser beam of 808nm is added into a visible light path of the microscope, and the laser beam passes through a system optical device to obtain a semicircular light spot on a charge coupled device ccd, and when the radius of the light spot is minimum, focusing is completed. According to the automatic focusing method using the laser triangulation method, after the light spot is projected to the surface of the measured object, if the light spot is projected to the defect or the hole of the measured object, the light spot is trapped into the defect or the hole, so that the observed light spot size is smaller than the actual light spot size, and therefore a false peak value occurs when the size of the light spot is judged, and thus wrong automatic focusing is caused.
In summary, how to improve the microscope focusing efficiency and improve the microscope focusing accuracy is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
An autofocus microscope system, as shown in fig. 1, is used for observing an object 106, and includes a tube lens 104, an objective lens 105, a mask 102, a first light source 101, a first beam splitting element 103, a second beam splitting element 107, a first mirror 109, a first charge coupled device 108, and a processor (not shown).
The first light source 101 emits a first light beam, and the mask 102 is irradiated with the first light beam, so as to obtain a light beam including a pattern of the mask. The light beam including the pattern of the mask is incident on the first light splitting element 103.
The first light splitting element 103 performs light splitting processing on the light beam including the pattern of the mask to obtain a first emission sub-beam, and the first light splitting element emits one of the first emission sub-beams into the tube lens 104, and the one of the first emission sub-beams is emitted onto the object to be measured 106 through the tube lens 104 and the objective lens 105.
One of the first emitted sub-beams is reflected on the object 106 to obtain a first reflected beam, and the first reflected beam sequentially passes through the objective lens 105 and the tube lens 104 to enter the first light splitting element 103.
The first light splitting element 103 performs light splitting processing on the first reflected light beam to obtain first reflected sub-beams, and one of the first reflected sub-beams is incident on the second light splitting element 107.
The second light splitting element 107 performs light splitting processing on the received light beam to obtain a first target sub-beam and a second target sub-beam, the second light splitting element 107 directs the first target sub-beam to the first predetermined area B of the first ccd, the second light splitting element 107 directs the second target sub-beam to the first reflecting mirror 109, and the first reflecting mirror 109 directs the second target sub-beam to the second predetermined area a of the first ccd 108.
The processor calculates the contrast of the image in the first preset area to obtain a first contrast, calculates the contrast of the image in the second preset area to obtain a second contrast, determines the defocusing direction and the defocusing amount of the automatic focusing microscope system according to the first contrast and the second contrast, and determines the adjustment amount of the objective lens position according to the defocusing direction and the defocusing amount. And after the objective lens adjusts the position according to the adjustment quantity, the object to be measured is positioned on the focal plane of the object. . The defocusing amount is the distance between the focal plane of the objective lens and the measured object, and the defocusing amount is larger when the measured object is farther away from the focal point of the objective lens.
When the difference of the contrast of the image received by the two areas A, B on the first CCD is 0, the object to be measured is determined to be in the focal plane of the objective lens. The contrast is the definition of the image, the clear image has clear outline, rich detail information and high contrast. The contrast of the image in both regions may be calculated A, B using a sharpness evaluation function, the greater the value of the sharpness evaluation function, the higher the contrast of the image.
Preferably, the processor may use a gray gradient evaluation function, an informatics function or a frequency domain function as the sharpness evaluation function to calculate A, B the contrast of the image in both regions. The gray scale gradient evaluation and function includes an absolute Variance function, a gradient vector module function, a Brenner function (also called a gradient filter method), Roberts gradient sum function, a gray scale fluctuation change function (Variance function), a gray scale change rate sum function, a laplacian function, a Sobel operator evaluation function, and the like.
This embodiment uses the Brenner function to separately calculate A, B the contrast of the image in two regions:
Figure BDA0001644459490000071
where F4 is the contrast of the image, M is the total number of rows of pixels in the image, N is the total number of columns of pixels in the image, x is the row of pixels, y is the column of pixels, and d is the predetermined number of pixels.
The Brenner function selects the square sum of the gradient change sizes of d pixels away from each other in the x direction as the judgment basis of the image definition or contrast, and actually can also be understood as calculating the d-order gradient of the image.
In this embodiment, the mask may be an equal period grating mask or a variable period grating mask. When the equal-period grating mask is used, the automatic focusing of most measured objects can be realized, but when the measured objects are gratings with the same period as the mask, the focusing of the measured objects cannot be realized. Because the probability that the object to be measured and the mask are the same variable-period grating is very small, the variable-period grating mask can be used for focusing any object to be measured.
The equal period grating mask or the variable period grating mask can be used for realizing the accurate focusing of the transparent measured object. In addition, because the mask has a certain projection area, accurate focusing on a detected object with defects or holes can be realized by using the equal-period grating mask or the variable-period grating mask.
In this embodiment, the first charge coupled device is preferably a linear array CCD, which has a higher number of image acquisition bits, and is less in calculation amount and fast in focusing speed.
Further, in this embodiment, the autofocus microscope system further includes an adjuster. The processor generates an adjusting command according to the adjusting quantity and sends the adjusting command to the adjuster; the adjuster adjusts the position of the objective lens according to the adjustment command.
The embodiment projects the pattern of the mask plate on the measured object, and then the pattern of the mask plate is used for focusing, so that the transparent measured object can be focused accurately, and the defect of low focusing accuracy caused by holes or defects can be overcome by focusing the pattern of the mask plate. In the embodiment, the processor is used for determining the contrast of the collected pattern of the mask, and then the distance between the objective lens and the measured object is determined by using the contrast, so that the automatic focusing of the automatic focusing microscope system on the measured object is realized, and the focusing efficiency is improved.

The first light splitting element 203 emits one of the first reflected sub-beams into the third light splitting element 212, and the third light splitting element 212 performs light splitting processing on the one of the first reflected sub-beams, and emits the obtained one sub-beam into the first filter element 216, and emits the other sub-beam into the second filter element 213.
The first filter element 26 filters out a first predetermined light beam of the light beams received by the first filter element, and emits the filtered light beam into the second light splitting element 207; the first predetermined light beam is a light beam obtained by the third light splitting element 212 performing light splitting processing on one of the second reflected sub-light beams.

The infrared light source is used to project the pattern of the reticle onto the object to be measured, and the white light source is used to form an image of the object to be measured on the second ccd, and to increase the brightness of the image formed by the second ccd 214.
In this embodiment, the second filter element 213 is an infrared filter, so that only the light beam including the pattern of the object to be measured enters the second ccd, and the light beam including the pattern of the mask does not enter the second ccd, so that the second ccd only forms the image of the object to be measured.

By comparing the contrast of the images received by A, B on the linear CCD, the direction and amount of defocus can be detected.
