Description
Technical Field
An all-optical super-resolution microscopic device based on a photon reset technology belongs to the field of optical microscopic measurement, and particularly relates to a microscopic imaging device which utilizes a photon redistribution principle and realizes high resolution by means of all-optical.
Background
Laser scanning confocal microscopy (CLSM) has been widely used in the biomedical detection field due to its optical sectioning capability and high imaging contrast. As a well-studied fluorescence microscope, the excellent imaging properties of CLSM are achieved by using a detector with a high dynamic range and setting a confocal detection pinhole. In common CLSM, the detected intensity value for each scan point is recorded by an integrating detector, such as a photomultiplier tube (PMT), avalanche photodiode, etc.; the pinhole is coaxially conjugated to the excitation focus position and the corresponding image is constructed by assigning the detected illumination intensity to the corresponding excitation scan position. Later, there have been studies showing that the use of off-axis pinholes can further improve resolution. Because the area array detector has a plurality of off-axis pixel points, and research shows that the actual position of the fluorescence emission light source on the sample is 1/2 between the focal point of laser and the detection point deviating from the optical axis, when the final image is synthesized, the pinhole plane image shot at each excitation scanning position and the position information thereof are combined. The resolution of the traditional microscope can be improved by means of the area array detector and the photon reset algorithm.
Following the above principle, some researchers have proposed an image scanning microscope, that is, replacing a photomultiplier tube (PMT) as a detector in a laser scanning confocal microscope with a CCD (charge coupled device) area array detector, based on the photon resetting principle, in subsequent computer image processing, shifting an image collected by off-axis pixel points of the detector, that is, shifting a detected image to a position where the distance between the focal point of laser and a detection point deviated from the optical axis is half, redistributing photons detected by each pixel point on the area array detector to an accurate position, and superimposing all shifted images to obtain an image with higher detection efficiency and resolution, which can be up to twice the original resolution. Besides the improvement of resolution, the equipment of the image scanning microscope is simple, is easy to operate and can be better compatible with the existing laser scanning confocal microscope.
Because in the original image scanning microscope, the image of each pixel point needs to be collected, and in addition, each collected image needs corresponding shift processing, so that the imaging speed of the image scanning microscope is very slow, experiments show that tens of minutes are consumed for imaging micron-sized small images, the applicability of the image scanning microscope is greatly limited by later-stage image reconstruction, and if the imaging speed of the image scanning microscope can be improved, the application of the image scanning microscope in the fields of biomedicine and the like can be greatly improved.
