Description

Technical Field

Background
The search for microscopic cells or organelles has long been of interest. In recent years, the research of brain science and brain-like intelligence is more and more attracting attention of all countries in the world, and dynamic imaging and research on the interaction of brain cells and complex neural circuits need to develop the leading advanced imaging, tracing and marking technology from micro to mesoscopic to macro. Therefore, the newly developed optical field regulation and control and nanometer optical imaging subversive technology breaking through the diffraction optical limit provides a powerful method for solving the key scientific technology.
The single molecule positioning super-resolution technology utilizes the spontaneous scintillation effect of fluorescent molecules of marked cells, and obtains a super-resolution image by positioning the position of a fluorescent light source and acquiring multi-frame image reconstruction. The technology has the advantages of small excitation intensity, high wide-field resolution capability, multicolor and 3D imaging capability and the like, but the imaging speed is lower due to the fact that multi-frame reconstruction imaging is needed.
The Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) technology is a novel biomarker means, and has the characteristics of difficult bleaching of optical signals, wide range of applicable labeled biological samples, small damage to the samples and the like. Meanwhile, the Raman signal scattered by the original sample is greatly enhanced, so that the method has extremely high sensitivity to the spectrum detection based on the SERS effect. The SERS technology can also acquire chemical component information in cells and biological tissues by raman spectroscopy, and has the natural advantage of label-free imaging, and is widely used in the biomedical field.
In 2010, Willets et al firstly combine the super-resolution microscopy technology with the SERS technology, study single-molecule SERS super-resolution reconstruction imaging, respectively locate the centroids of single molecules and nanoparticles through two-dimensional Gaussian fitting, obtain the spatial position information of the single molecules and the nanoparticles, and the resolution can reach 10 nm. With the combination of single-molecule positioning super-resolution technology and SERS technology, researchers have also begun to use super-resolution technology to obtain SERS signals of subcellular or tissue, and to realize label-free raman super-resolution imaging. However, the period of the scintillation action of SERS is usually tens of milliseconds, generally 100ms is required for acquiring a frame of image, and in combination with a multi-frame acquisition and reconstruction method, it usually takes tens of minutes to obtain a super-resolution image, and if it is used for imaging multiple molecules or tissue cells, it takes several hours, which has a great influence on the study of some living cell tissues. And the illumination mode adopts the static illumination of plasma excimer to produce static hot spot, and it is very successful to realize super-resolution Raman imaging to some single molecules, and can not utilize the scintillation action of molecule to the formation of image of multimolecular and cell tissue to lead to the formation of image result to leave a blank, have problems such as background SERS signal interference.

The principles and embodiments of the super-resolution raman spectroscopy imaging system 100 and the method of the present embodiment will be described in detail below, so that those skilled in the art can understand the super-resolution raman spectroscopy imaging system 100 and the method of the present embodiment without creative efforts.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a super-resolution raman spectroscopy imaging system 100, where the super-resolution raman spectroscopy imaging system 100 includes: the system comprises an excitation light source module 110, a polarization modulation module 120, a galvanometer scanning module 130, a microscope system module 140, an excitation light coupling module 170, a super-resolution imaging module 150 and a raman spectrum analysis module 160.
The super-resolution raman spectroscopy imaging system 100 of the present embodiment is described in detail below.
In this embodiment, the excitation light source module 110 is used for generating an excitation light source.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the excitation light source module 110 includes: a raman excitation laser 111 that generates the excitation light source; and the optical fiber collimator 112 is connected to the raman excitation laser 111 through an optical fiber, and collimates the excitation light source output by the raman excitation laser 111 and outputs the collimated excitation light source to the polarization modulation module 120.
The laser wavelength output by the raman excitation laser 111 includes, but is not limited to, commonly used raman excitation wavelengths: 405nm, 488nm, 532nm, 632nm, 785nm and the like, the output aperture of the optical fiber meets the requirements of confocal scanning microimaging, so that the system has confocal microimaging capability, and the Raman excitation laser 111 outputs laser through the optical fiber, and enters the polarization modulation module 120 after being collimated by the optical fiber collimator 112.
In this embodiment, the polarization modulation module 120, i.e. a polarizer, is used for modulating the polarization direction of the excitation light source.
Specifically, the polarization modulation module 120 generates a polarization rotation of zero to 2 π for the incident linearly polarized laser light.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the polarization modulation module 120 includes: a polarizer 121 for receiving the excitation light source output by the fiber collimator 112; and a polarization controller 122 for controlling the rotation angle and rotation speed of the polarization of the laser light in the polarizing plate 121.
The rotation angle and rotation speed of the laser polarization are controlled by the polarization controller 122 and a specific timing control program within the polarization controller 122. The means for providing polarization include, but are not limited to, liquid crystal polarization rotators and 1/2 wave plate polarization rotators, among others.
In this embodiment, the galvanometer scanning module 130 is configured to scan different positions of the excitation light from the sample imaging area.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the galvanometer scanning module 130 includes: the laser galvanometer 131 receives the excitation light source subjected to polarization modulation by the polarizer 121, and scans to finish focusing of the excitation light source at different positions in the sample imaging area; and a galvanometer controller 132 for controlling the scanning angle range and the angle change rate of the laser galvanometer 131.
The laser galvanometer 131 is used for realizing the rapid two-dimensional scanning of the sample imaging area in the confocal microscope system module 140, and the scanning angle range and the angle change rate of the laser galvanometer 131 are simultaneously controlled by the galvanometer controller 132 and a time sequence control program in the galvanometer controller 132.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, one way of controlling the polarizer 121 and the laser galvanometer 131 is as follows: keeping the angle of the laser galvanometer 131 unchanged, continuously changing the polarization angle of the polarizer 121, changing the angle of the laser galvanometer 131 after the polarizer 121 rotates for one circle in a vibrating manner, rotating the polarizer 121 for one circle again, and repeating the above processes until the scanning of the sample imaging area is completed.
Another way to control the polarizer 121 and the laser galvanometer 131 is: keeping the angle of the polarizer 121 unchanged, controlling the laser galvanometer 131 to complete scanning of the sample imaging area, rotating the polarizer 121 after the scanning is completed, controlling the laser galvanometer 131 to scan the sample imaging area again, and repeating the above processes until the polarizer 121 rotates for one circle.
In this embodiment, the excitation light coupling module 170 is disposed between the laser galvanometer 131 and the microscope system module 140, and outputs an excitation light source output by the laser galvanometer 131 to the microscope system module 140.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the excitation light coupling module 170 includes one or more combinations of a reflecting mirror 171, a dichroic mirror 172, a beam splitter 173, or a turning mirror.
In this embodiment, the microscope system module 140 is configured to focus the excitation light source and excite raman signal generation through a sample imaging area, wherein the sample imaging area includes a surface-enhanced raman spectroscopy substrate 141 and a detection sample 142 disposed on the surface-enhanced raman spectroscopy substrate 141, as shown in fig. 2.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the surface-enhanced raman spectroscopy substrate 141 is composed of one or more of nanoparticle dimers, nanowires and nanoparticle systems with polarization-dependent properties, nanoparticle array-nanowire systems, nanocubes, or mixed systems with nanocubes core-shell structure systems.
The excitation light source after polarization modulation enters the objective lens 143 through the laser galvanometer 131, the reflecting mirror 171 and the dichroic mirror 172, and is focused on the detection sample 142 on the SERS substrate. The detection sample 142 can be fixed on the surface enhanced raman spectroscopy substrate 141(SERS substrate) in a suspension, adsorption, or other form, and inelastic raman scattering occurs between the focused excitation light source and the detection sample 142 to generate a raman signal.
Because the excitation light source has polarization in a certain direction, the hot spot in the SERS substrate can achieve the maximum Raman enhancement effect only in the polarized plasma mode which is consistent with the polarization direction of the excitation light source, so that the Raman signal on the SERS substrate can be regulated and controlled by the polarization of the excitation light. The raman signal generated by the sample molecules near the excited hot spot is enhanced while the raman signal near the unexcited hot spot is not enhanced. Fig. 3 illustrates an example of a silver nanoparticle dimer: the polarization direction of the dimer is related to the long axis direction of the dimer, and is in a random arrangement on the substrate. When the excitation light is polarized as in the form of long arrows in fig. 3. It can be seen that only hot spots with long axis directions coinciding with the polarization direction of the excitation light are excited. Thereby generating a surface raman scattering enhancement effect to enhance the raman signal in the sample signal. While unexcited dimers do not enhance the raman signal in the sample.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the microscope system module 140 includes: an objective lens 143, through which an input excitation light source is focused on the sample imaging area to excite and generate a raman signal; the optical splitting module 144 is configured to split the raman signal into two paths, where one path enters the super-resolution imaging module 150 and the other path enters the raman spectrum analysis module 160. The light splitting module 144 is an electric rotating mirror or a beam splitter.
In this embodiment, the super-resolution imaging module 150 is configured to generate a super-resolution image of the detection sample 142 according to the raman signal.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the super-resolution imaging module 150 includes: a Raman signal filter 151, a band-pass filter 152, an imaging lens 153 and an array detector 154 which are arranged in sequence; the array detector 154 records the light emitting state of the detection sample 142 in real time, performs multi-frame collection on the same position of the detection sample 142, and performs raman hotspot positioning reconstruction on an image by using a scintillation effect generated by a raman signal to generate a super-resolution image.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the array detector 154 is a CCD array detector, an EMCCD array detector or a CMOS array detector.
The enhanced raman signal enters the CCD/EMCCD/CMOS array detector 154 all the way to be imaged. Since light is an electromagnetic wave with diffraction characteristics, the raman signal collected in the CCD/EMCCD/CMOS array detector 154 is a diffraction spot modulated by a point spread function determined by an imaging system. The light intensity of the diffraction light spot has the characteristic of Gaussian distribution approximately, and the nano-precision hot spot position information of the Raman hot spot can be found through a fitting positioning method. The positioning method adopted in the system comprises but is not limited to a Gaussian distribution fitting reconstruction method, a multi-hot-point super Gaussian fitting reconstruction method and a compressed sensing data reconstruction method.
The polarization modulator is changed in real time while the vibrating mirror is kept unchanged, and the polarization direction of the exciting light is continuously changed, so that hot spots with randomly distributed polarization directions can be randomly excited along with the change of the polarization direction of the laser. Every time the polarization direction of the exciting light is changed, the CCD/EMCCD/CMOS array detector 154 collects and positions each frame of image to obtain an image of the hot spot position information. All the images obtained in the process are superposed to realize super-resolution imaging. FIG. 3 illustrates the process in detail, taking the substrate of nanoparticle dimers as an example: the polarization direction angle of the excitation light in fig. 3A is 0 °, only a part of the nanoparticle dimers (black dimer particles in fig. 3A) shown in fig. 3A have the strongest raman enhancement effect, and the diffraction spot image is obtained after the enhanced raman signal is collected by the array detector 154. By the positioning method, the position information of the Raman signal is further obtained. The polarization direction angle of the excitation light is continuously changed, (fig. 3B is 30 °, fig. 3C is 45 °, and fig. 3D is 90 °) to acquire raman signal information at different positions, and all the acquired images are reconstructed to obtain a super-resolution image of the sample (fig. 3E). The laser galvanometer 131 is continuously adjusted to change the position of the exciting light focused on the sample, and a plurality of super-resolution images of the detection sample at other positions are obtained.
In this embodiment, the raman spectrum analysis module 160 is configured to generate a raman spectrum according to the raman signal and analyze the detection sample.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the raman spectrum analysis module 160 includes: a raman signal filter 162, a fiber coupler 163 and a spectrometer 161 for generating the raman spectrum super-resolution image. The aperture of the coupling optical fiber meets the requirement of confocal scanning microscopic imaging on the collected optical signal, and is matched with the aperture of the output optical fiber in the excitation light source module 110, so that the system has the confocal scanning microscopic imaging capability.
The raman signal enters the spectrometer 161 through fiber coupling, and the raman spectrum information at a certain polarization angle and the position information of the excited hot spot are acquired. Raman spectra at different wavelengths (lambda)1,λ2,λ3,λ4… …) will show a raman peak. Tong (Chinese character of 'tong')The same wavelength (lambda) of different sites is extracted1) The Raman peak intensity and the Raman signal position information are reconstructed to obtain the Raman signal with the wavelength (lambda)1) And (3) Raman spectrum imaging of the excited site. Obtaining other wavelengths (lambda) by the same principle2,λ3,λ4… …) in the sample.
The raman spectrum imaging graph acquisition process is described in detail by taking fig. 4 as an example.
When the polarization angle of the excitation light is 0 ° (black double arrow direction in fig. 3A), the positional information (fig. 4A) and raman spectrum (fig. 4A) focused by the excitation light at this time are acquired by the spectrometer 1615). Raman spectra at these positions are respectively at λ1,λ2,λ3,λ4Has Raman peaks with different intensities, will be lambda1The raman peak intensity at wavelength and the source position of the raman signal reconstruct a raman spectrum image as shown in fig. 4a 1. The figure 4A1Position information of Raman signal in x and y directions, gray value of image representing polarization angle of 0 degree and lambda1Intensity information of Raman peak under the wavelength condition of (1) (FIG. 4A)1Black dot in (c) indicates a raman peak at this position). In the same way, λ can be obtained2,λ3,λ4wavelength-down-Raman spectral imaging (FIG. 4A)2FIG. 4A3FIG. 4A4). The polarizing plate 121 is rotated to continuously change the polarization direction of the exciting light, and the above process is repeated to obtain raman spectrum imaging images under different polarization angles.

The working process of the super-resolution raman spectroscopy imaging system 100 in this embodiment is as follows:

Then, the polarized light enters the objective lens 143 after passing through the laser vibrating mirror 131 and the reflecting mirror 171 and is focused on the SERS substrate, and the detection sample is excited to emit a Raman signal. The raman signal is collected by the objective lens 143 and then divided into two paths by the electric rotating mirror or beam splitter 173: the first path enters a CCD/EMCCD/CMOS array detector 154 for imaging, and the adopted super-resolution imaging method is a Raman hotspot positioning reconstruction super-resolution imaging method. The other path enters the spectrometer 161 for Raman spectrum super-resolution imaging.
As shown in fig. 5, this embodiment further provides a super-resolution raman spectroscopy imaging method, where the super-resolution raman spectroscopy imaging method includes:
step S110, generating an excitation light source and modulating the polarization direction of the excitation light source;
step S120, focusing the excitation light source on a sample imaging area through a laser galvanometer 131, and generating a Raman signal through excitation of the sample imaging area; wherein the sample imaging area comprises a surface enhanced raman spectroscopy substrate 141 and a detection sample 142 positioned on the surface enhanced raman spectroscopy substrate 141;
step S130, continuously adjusting the polarization direction of the laser excitation light source or adjusting the scanning direction of the laser galvanometer 131, and controlling different excitation positions of the sample imaging area to generate Raman signals;
and step S140, respectively generating a super-resolution image and a Raman spectrum super-resolution image of the detection sample 142 according to the Raman signal.
In this embodiment, a process of acquiring the super-resolution image includes: keeping the angle of the laser galvanometer 131 unchanged, continuously adjusting the polarization direction of the laser excitation light source, respectively obtaining the hot spot position information images of the raman signal generated in the sample imaging area under each polarization direction, and overlapping the hot spot position information images obtained under each polarization direction to form a super-resolution image of the detection sample 142; the angle of the laser galvanometer 131 is adjusted to change the position of the raman signal excited by the excitation light source on the detection sample 142, and the above process is repeated to obtain the super-resolution images of the plurality of detection samples 142 at different positions on the sample imaging area.
I.e. the polarization characteristics of the excitation light source are changed by adjusting the polarization rotator. And exciting a hot spot in the SERS substrate plasmon enhancement mode, wherein the hot spot is consistent with the polarization direction of exciting light, and generating the maximum Raman enhancement effect. The raman signal is collected by the array detector 154 to obtain random hotspot location information. The polarization direction of the exciting light is continuously changed, the acquisition rate of the CCD/EMCCD/CMOS array detector 154 is controlled, and a series of random hot spot position information is obtained. And carrying out Raman hot spot positioning and reconstruction on the acquired image to obtain the super-resolution image of the detection sample 142.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the complete process of generating the super-resolution image of the detection sample 142 is as follows:
1) the imaged target was transferred to a Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) substrate with strong polarization dependence. The polarization-dependent SERS substrate can be formed by one or a mixture of several of metal dimer, polymer, cube, core-shell structure and nanoparticle-nanowire structure which have a polarization plasma mode.
2) The excitation light generated by the excitation light source module 110 passes through the optical fiber and the optical fiber collimator 112 to generate parallel light, and then enters the polarization modulation module 120. In the polarization modulation module 120, the rotation direction and the rotation speed of the polarizer 121 may be adjusted by a controller. Polarization rotation means include, but are not limited to, liquid crystal polarization rotators and 1/2 wave plate polarization rotators. Keeping the laser galvanometer 131 still, rotating the polarizer, modulating the polarization direction of the excitation light source, and controlling the polarization included angle θ of the excitation light to excite the plasma mode of polarization on the SERS substrate consistent with the polarization direction of the excitation light source (defined as shown in fig. 3).
3) The polarization-modulated excitation light enters the objective lens 143 through the laser galvanometer 131, the reflecting mirror 171 and the dichroic mirror 172, and is focused on the sample on the SERS substrate. The detection sample 142 may be immobilized on the SERS substrate by suspension, adsorption, or the like. Inelastic raman scattering occurs between the focused excitation light and the sample analyte to generate a raman signal. Because the SERS substrate has strong polarization dependence, the maximum Raman enhancement effect can be achieved only in a polarized plasma mode consistent with the polarization direction of the excitation light source. The detection targets at these sites emit detectable raman signals, while the remaining polarization-polarized plasmon mode sites have no enhancement effect. Namely, the effect of bright and dark flicker of SERS hot spots at different sites is realized.
Because the exciting light has polarization in a certain direction, the hot spot in the SERS substrate can achieve the maximum Raman enhancement effect only in the polarized plasma mode which is consistent with the polarization direction of the exciting light source, so that the Raman signal on the SERS substrate can be regulated and controlled by the polarization of the exciting light. The raman signal generated by the sample molecules near the excited hot spot is enhanced while the raman signal near the unexcited hot spot is not enhanced. Fig. 3 illustrates an example of a silver nanoparticle dimer: the polarization direction of the dimer is related to the long axis direction of the dimer, and is in a random arrangement on the substrate. When the excitation light is polarized as in the form of long arrows in fig. 3. It can be seen that only hot spots with long axis directions coinciding with the polarization direction of the excitation light are excited. Thereby generating a surface raman scattering enhancement effect to enhance the raman signal in the sample signal. While unexcited dimers do not enhance the raman signal in the sample.
4) The polarization direction of the laser is continuously changed by adjusting the rotary polarizer, so that Raman luminescence of hot spots at different positions and different polarization directions is randomly modulated, and the scintillation effect of the SERS detection target is generated.
In this embodiment, the polarization direction of the excitation light source is modulated by a liquid crystal polarization rotator or an 1/2 wave plate polarization rotator.
5) The SERS signal of the imaging target enters the objective lens 143 and then enters the CCD/EMCCD/CMOS array detector 154, the CCD/EMCCD/CMOS array detector 154 records the luminous state of the sample in real time, and multi-frame collection is carried out on the same position of the sample. And carrying out Raman hotspot positioning reconstruction on the image by utilizing the generated flicker effect to generate a super-resolution image.
Specifically, the enhanced raman signal enters the CCD/EMCCD/CMOS array detector 154 all the way to be imaged. Since light is an electromagnetic wave with diffraction characteristics, the raman signal collected in the CCD/EMCCD/CMOS array detector 154 is a diffraction spot modulated by a point spread function determined by an imaging system. The light intensity of the diffraction light spot has the characteristic of Gaussian distribution approximately, and the nanometer precision position information of the Raman hot spot can be found through a fitting positioning method. The positioning method adopted in the system comprises but is not limited to a Gaussian distribution fitting reconstruction method, a multi-hot-point super Gaussian fitting reconstruction method and a compressed sensing data reconstruction method.
The polarization modulator is changed in real time while the vibrating mirror is kept unchanged, and the polarization direction of the exciting light is continuously changed, so that hot spots with randomly distributed polarization directions can be randomly excited along with the change of the polarization direction of the laser. Every time the polarization direction of the exciting light is changed, the CCD/EMCCD/CMOS array detector 154 collects and positions each frame of image to obtain an image of the hot spot position information. All the images obtained in the process are superposed to realize super-resolution imaging. FIG. 3 illustrates the process in detail, taking the substrate of nanoparticle dimers as an example: the polarization direction angle θ of the excitation light in fig. 3A is 0 °, only a part of the nanoparticle dimers (black dimer particles in fig. 3A) shown in fig. 3 have the strongest raman enhancement effect, and the enhanced raman signal is collected by the CCD/EMCCD/CMOS array detector 154 to obtain a diffraction spot image. And further acquiring the position information of the Raman signal by the positioning method in the step 5). Continuously varying the polarization direction angle theta of the excitation light (FIG. 3B theta)130 ° fig. 3C θ245 ° fig. 3D θ3The raman signal information at different positions is acquired at 90 °, and all the acquired images are reconstructed to obtain a super-resolution image of the sample (fig. 3E).
6) And (3) adjusting the laser galvanometer 131, namely adjusting the laser galvanometer 131 to change the position of the exciting light focused on the sample, changing the focusing position of the exciting light, and repeating the steps 2) to 5) to obtain a super-resolution image of another position.
In this embodiment, the hotspot location information in the hotspot location information image is obtained by a fitting and positioning method; the positioning method is a Gaussian distribution fitting reconstruction method, a multi-hot-point super Gaussian fitting reconstruction method or a compressed sensing data reconstruction method.
In this embodiment, a process of acquiring the raman spectrum super-resolution image includes: keeping the polarization direction of the excitation light source unchanged, continuously adjusting the focusing position of the laser galvanometer 131, and acquiring hotspot position information of the excited position and Raman spectrum information corresponding to the hotspot position information when adjusting the focusing position of the laser galvanometer 131 each time; constructing a Raman spectrum imaging graph through the acquired hotspot position information and Raman spectrum information corresponding to the hotspot position information; changing the polarization direction of the excitation light source, repeating the process until the laser polarization rotation is finished after one circle, and acquiring a plurality of Raman spectrum imaging graphs in different polarization directions; and reconstructing the obtained Raman spectrum imaging graph to obtain the Raman spectrum super-resolution image.
I.e. the polarization characteristics of the excitation light source are changed by adjusting the polarization rotator. The polarized light excites a hot spot in the SERS substrate plasmon polariton enhancement mode, wherein the hot spot is consistent with the polarization direction of the exciting light, and the maximum Raman enhancement effect is generated. The raman signal is coupled to the spectrometer 161 through an optical fiber, and the raman signal is collected by the spectrometer 161 to obtain a confocal micro-raman spectrum. And completing two-dimensional confocal quick scanning of the sample through a galvanometer. During the scanning process, the spectrometer 161 collects a raman spectrum each time the galvanometer changes the scanning position.

4) Because the exciting light has polarization in a certain direction, the hot spot in the SERS substrate can achieve the maximum Raman enhancement effect only in a polarization-related plasma mode consistent with the polarization direction of the exciting light source, the Raman signal generated by the sample near the excited hot spot is enhanced, and the Raman signal near the unexcited hot spot is not enhanced.
5) The raman signal enters the spectrometer 161 through fiber coupling, and the raman spectrum information at a certain polarization angle and the position information of the excited hot spot are acquired. Raman spectra at different wavelengths (lambda)1,λ2,λ3,λ4… …) will show a raman peak.
