s104, debugging the empirical air pressure: the change of the air supply along with the number of times of debugging in the whole debugging process is shown in fig. 4, starting from the initial value in S102, the air supply pressure at the lower end of the air cylinder 5 is changed from large to small in the device shown in fig. 2 by adjusting the pressure reducing valve 8, the trial sampling is repeated, the air supply pressure at the lower end is reduced by 5kPa before each sampling, the air supply pressure at the lower end is kept constant in each trial sampling process, the air supply pressure is read by the barometer 6 at the lower end, and the force generated by the air supply pressure at the lower end of the piston rod of the air cylinder 5 is Fp. Referring to fig. 5 (a), before the sampling needle 2 enters the sample, the force Fp is still balanced with the gravity G and the static friction force f of the piston rod: at this time, the sampling needle 2 advances at a constant speed and remains stationary relative to the three-dimensional translation stage 4.

Repeating the sampling process, observing the result after sampling by a microscope, and taking a sample under a cylinderThe size of the end air supply and the resistance F of the sampling needlesThreshold value (i.e. F at the moment of retraction)s) The relationship between them is shown in FIG. 6, and the lower the supplied air pressure at the lower end, the lower the F of the sampling needlesThe larger the threshold value of (A), FsMay fail when the threshold value of F is too smallsMay bend when the threshold value of (a) is too large. Therefore, when sampling succeeds, the supplied air pressure indicated by the reading of the lower end barometer 6 is taken as the maximum value of the empirical air pressure; after sampling is successful, the air supply pressure at the lower end is still continuously reduced until the human eye observes that the sampling needle 2 is bent or the microscope observes that the sampling needle 2 cuts open the sample, which indicates that the sampling is failed, and the air supply pressure indicated by the reading of the barometer 6 at the lower end is taken as the minimum value of the empirical air pressure.

Referring to fig. 7 (b), when the sampling needle 2 enters the sample, it is subjected to a resistance force Fs,FsWith the sampling needle 2 getting deeper and progressively larger in the sample, the plunger rod has a tendency to move back, i.e. Fs+f+FdG + Fp, the static friction of which decreases gradually and then increases in the opposite direction to a maximum, the piston rod being subjected to a supporting force FdGradually decrease to zeroUp to Fs≤G+fmax+ Fp, the sampling needle 2 is constantly moving forward at a constant speed, and remains relatively stationary with the three-dimensional translation stage 4.
Referring to FIG. 7 (c), when Fs≥G+fmax+ Fp, the speed of the needle 2 in the sample is reduced to zero, the advance is stopped, then the speed is reversed, the retraction is started, see (d), F) in FIG. 7sGradually decreases as the plunger rod is retracted until it is zero after leaving the sample.
Repeating the sampling process, observing the result after sampling by a microscope, and measuring the air supply at the upper end of the cylinder and the resistance F of the sampling needle in the sampling processsThreshold value (i.e. F at the moment of retraction)s) The relationship between them is shown in FIG. 8, and the larger the upper end air pressure is, the larger F of the sampling needlesThe larger the threshold value of (A), FsMay fail when the threshold value of F is too smallsMay bend when the threshold value of (a) is too large. Therefore, when sampling succeeds, the air supply pressure indicated by the reading of the upper barometer 6 is taken as the minimum value of the empirical pressure; after sampling is successful, the air supply pressure at the upper end is still continuously increased until the human eye observes that the sampling needle 2 is bent or the microscope observes that the sampling needle 2 cuts open the sample, which indicates that the sampling is failed, and the air supply pressure indicated by the reading of the barometer 6 at the upper end is taken as the maximum value of the empirical air pressure.
Due to the presence of the sample stage 1, the resistance F to which the sampling needle 2 is subjectedsWhen too big, can take place to buckle, can fish tail sample section when the crooked back resumes vertical state, obtain the experience atmospheric pressure of certain limit through S104' S debugging, the air feed atmospheric pressure of selecting in the minimum and the maximum value within range of experience atmospheric pressure can make the sample succeed, can also avoid the crooked of sampling needle 2. Need not to install force transducer, in formal sampling process, control the Fs threshold value when retracting through selecting suitable Fp, when the resistance between sampling needle 2 and the sample reaches the threshold value, but cylinder 5 piston rod rapid retraction, phenomenon such as response delay fish tail sample can not appear.
S2, positioning: and S103, selecting the same type of sample used in the pilot sampling, firstly adjusting the sampling needle 2 in the center of the illumination field of the microscope, then keeping the sampling needle 2 still, moving the sample platform 1 through the observation or imaging of the microscope, and enabling the target area of the sample to be located right below the sampling needle 2 so as to perform positioning.

S3, sampling: the electromagnetic valve 7 and the pressure reducing valve 8 are adjusted to enable the piston rod to be located at the lowest point in the air cylinder 5, and one empirical air pressure is selected from the empirical air pressure range obtained in S104 to supply air to the air cylinder 5 and keep constant, so that all similar samples can be sampled, and repeated sampling is achieved.
The electromagnetic valve 7 and the pressure reducing valve 8 are adjusted to enable the piston rod to be located at the lowest point in the air cylinder 5, and one empirical air pressure is selected from the empirical air pressure range obtained in S104 to supply air to the air cylinder 5 and keep constant, so that all similar samples can be sampled, and repeated sampling is achieved. Through the trial sampling debugging process of S104, the liver tissue slice is subjected to trial sampling, and the empirical air pressure range of successful sampling is as follows: the lower end is supplied with air at 7-13 kPa.
Then, a stainless steel sampling needle 2 with the inner diameter of 60 mu m and the outer diameter of 260 mu m is selected, and four methods are respectively used for sampling liver tissue slices to obtain macrophages in the liver. Referring to FIG. 10, A, the result of suction sampling using the prior art negative pressure technique of-31 kPa, the sampling result is not a standard circle due to suction caused by the negative pressure, but also carries with it surrounding tissue; fig. 10B shows the result of manually stamping with a large force, and due to the presence of the slide glass or the adhesive tape below the sliced sample, the sampling needle 2 is elastically deformed and bent when the stamping force is too large, and the sampling needle 2 cuts open the tissue during the resetting process after the sampling is finished, so that the sampling area is too large; fig. 10C, which is the result of manual poking with less force, the sampling needle 2 does not snap through the tissue, leaving only one loop of needle print on the tissue; in FIG. 10D, the tissue in the sampling needle 2 was completely removed as a result of sampling the lower end of the cylinder 5 with 10kPa supplied air in the range of 7kPa to 13kPa using the apparatus and the sampling method of the present invention.
