Background
Immunofluorescence technology (Immunofluorescence technology) is also called fluorescent antibody technology, is the earliest developed technology in the labeled immunity technology, and is established on the basis of immunology, biochemistry and microscope technology. The immunofluorescence analysis method is to measure the intensity of light emitted by a substance after the substance absorbs light with a certain frequency, and qualitatively or quantitatively analyze the substance by measuring the spectrum and the fluorescence intensity of fluorescence due to the direct relation between the fluorescence intensity and the quantity of the substance. Compared with the radioimmunoassay, the immunofluorescence assay has no radioactive pollution, and is mostly simple and convenient to operate and convenient to popularize.
The principle of immunofluorescence quantitative detection is as follows: a specific fluorescent antibody is firstly fixed in a certain zone of a nitrocellulose membrane, after a sample is dripped at one end of the dried nitrocellulose membrane, the sample moves forwards along the membrane due to capillary action, when the sample moves to a region where the antibody is fixed, the corresponding antigen in the sample is specifically combined with the fluorescent body, the other antibody of the antigen is used for capturing the complex along with further chromatography, the redundant fluorescent antibody is captured by the second antibody, and the positions of two capturing processes are respectively called a quality control line (C line) and a detection line (T line). When the light source irradiates the detection card, the quality control line and the detection line respectively excite the fluorescence with different intensities, the photoelectric converter receives the fluorescence with different intensities to generate electric signals with different sizes, and the intensity of the electric signals reflects the concentration of the object to be detected, so that the specific immunodiagnosis is realized.

Detailed Description
In the process of implementing the present application, the inventors found that:
when the fluorescence brightness analysis is performed on the medical dyeing cell scanning subsystem, if the existing immunofluorescence technology is adopted, the technical implementation difficulty is high, and the fluorescence brightness evaluation in the complex scene is very complex due to the influence of multiple factors such as a light source, a filter set, the exposure time of a camera, gain and the like possibly involved in the medical dyeing cell scanning environment.
At present, the fluorescence brightness evaluation of the fluorescence microscope in the complex scene of the acquired image is generally to compare the fluorescence brightness of the pictures shot under different scenes and camera parameter conditions, however, the fluorescence brightness evaluation cannot be realized because different scenes and camera parameter conditions have no uniform evaluation standard.

And after the acquisition channels are switched, determining the distance to be moved under the current acquisition channel according to the position of the object carrying device when the previous acquisition channel is focused and the image clarity experience range of the current acquisition channel.
After the image of the carrier of the measured object is obtained, the embodiment of the application can further determine the edge position of the carrier of the measured object in the image of the carrier of the measured object, determine the experience area image of the carrier of the measured object according to the edge position, and then intercept the experience area image from the image of the carrier of the measured object.
And after obtaining the experience area image of the carrier of the measured object, calculating a contrast value according to the experience area image of the carrier of the measured object.
In one embodiment, the calculating the contrast value according to the experience area image of the carrier of the measured object includes:
sequentially calculating the brightness difference between two adjacent pixels in the experience area image of the carrier of the measured object obtained at each focus;
and calculating the brightness difference value to obtain the contrast value of the empirical region image of the carrier of the measured object obtained at each focus.
In a specific implementation, the calculating the luminance difference value may be performed according to the following formula:
Figure BDA0002251802740000091
wherein, m and n are the number of pixels in the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction of the experience area image; the X, Y is a coordinate value of a pixel point; and F is the contrast value of the empirical region image.

Because the embodiment of the application only needs to carry out contrast type focusing on the empirical region image of the carrier of the measured object, the calculation amount of focusing scanning and contrast value calculation is greatly reduced, and the focusing time is shortened, so that the focusing of the carrier of the measured object can be completed quickly.
According to the microscope focusing method provided by the embodiment of the application, the clear experience range of the image is predetermined, the carrier of the measured object is controlled to move along the focusing axis (y axis) direction according to the experience range, the experience area image of the carrier of the measured object is obtained after the image of the carrier of the measured object is obtained, the contrast value is calculated according to the experience area image, the focus of the microscope is placed on the focus of the position according to the position with the maximum contrast value, therefore, focusing can be completed only through few operations of the air pulling box, and the focusing efficiency is greatly improved.
In one embodiment, the object carrier is a cylindrical object, the side surface of the object carrier is a curved surface, and the object is attached to the side surface of the object carrier.
In specific implementation, the measured object carrier is a cylindrical object, the side surface of the measured object carrier is a curved surface with a certain curvature, and when the measured object carrier with the curved surface structure is focused, if a focusing mode in the prior art is adopted, the curved surface structure influences the focusing process, so that a shot image is not clear; by adopting the focusing method provided by the embodiment of the application, the influence caused by the curved surface structure can be well filtered, the image of the experience area of the carrier of the measured object is selected for focusing, the focusing process is fast, and the shot image is clear.
In one embodiment, the microscope is a fluorescence microscope, the carrier of the test object is a medical probe, the test object is a stained cell, the medical probe adsorbs the stained cell, and the stained cell is stained with a fluorescent substance.
The embodiment of the application provides a focusing method aiming at the problem that the image scanning by a microscope of a medical probe is difficult, and the probe is extremely fine and has a certain curvature, so that the scanning of stained cells on the probe by adopting the existing focusing method is very difficult.
In specific implementation, in order to perform medical diagnosis or observation, only the image of the stained cells needs to be scanned, and the carrier of the stained cells, that is, the medical probe, may be of a uniform specification, and only a new medical probe of the specification needs to be used to extract the stained cells each time the extraction of the stained cells is performed, so that the medical probe can have a clear experience range and an experience area of the image.
In a specific implementation, for better medical diagnosis or observation, the stained cells adsorbed on the medical probe may be stained with a fluorescent substance, and the microscope may be a fluorescence microscope, and the fluorescence microscope may emit fluorescence to excite the fluorescent substance stained by the stained cells, so that images of the stained cells may be clearly presented.
