Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an endoscope apparatus, and more particularly, to a micro-endoscope probe having multiple modes.
Background
Currently, optical endoscopes have been commonly used for clinical disease detection, such as optical endoscopes using white light illumination CMOS or CCD imaging, but the method lacks biological morphology and structure imaging, and has limitations particularly on tissue tomography three-dimensional imaging. The Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) based on the optical weak coherence back scattering signal measurement has the advantages of high sensitivity, high resolution, non-invasion and the like, and can realize layered perspective imaging of biological tissues, blood vessel network detection, blood flow velocity measurement and other functional information three-dimensional imaging. The confocal laser scanning microscope features that pinhole technology is used to eliminate the interference of light signal beyond the focus to image, so greatly raising the image definition and detail resolution and possessing high axial contrast.
Generally, the single-mode imaging technology has inherent defects, and the multi-mode fusion imaging can make up for the defects of the single mode, which is the trend of modern biophotonic medicine development, and the multi-mode endoscopic probe is an indispensable structure. However, to realize the three modes of wide-field white light, confocal microscopy and OCT in the endoscopic probe, three sets of independent components need to be simultaneously arranged in the endoscopic probe to realize the three modes, and the conventional endoscopic probe cannot integrate the structure with the three modes of wide-field white light, confocal microscopy and OCT in one endoscopic probe due to the limitation of the probe volume, so that the conventional endoscopic probe has the following disadvantages:
1. the detection in the operation can be realized, but the OCT, confocal and white light channels are not provided, and the pathology in the operation of the cell level can not be realized.
2. The optical ultrasonic probe using OCT and ultrasound has a large detection depth, but the resolution is not sufficient to examine cells.
3. The dual mode probe using fluorescence confocal and OCT lacks wide field of view white light channel guidance and is bulky.
Therefore, the prior art still needs to be improved and developed.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a multi-mode micro endoscopic probe, which aims to solve the problem that the existing endoscopic probe cannot integrate structures with three modes of wide-field white light, confocal microscopy and OCT in one endoscopic probe simultaneously due to the limitation of volume.

The micro endoscopic probe with multiple modes comprises a tube body, a probe head and a probe head, wherein the tube body comprises a main tube and an outer tube used for protecting human tissues from being injured by the main tube, and the outer tube is wrapped outside the main tube; the lens, the optical fiber driving tube and the auxiliary assembly are arranged in the main body tube.
The micro endoscopic probe with multiple modes is characterized in that a gap is formed between the main tube and the outer tube by dispensing and fixing, and the gap is filled by dispensing.

The micro endoscopic probe with multiple modes is characterized in that the front lens is a plano-convex thick lens.
The micro endoscopic probe with multiple modes comprises a focusing lens group and a double-cemented lens.
The lens also comprises a window sheet which is arranged on the front surface of the front lens and used for sealing the front end of the whole micro endoscopic probe to prevent water leakage, and the window sheet is provided with an opening for ensuring OCT imaging and application.
The micro endoscopic probe with the multiple modes comprises an optical fiber and a PZT driving tube, wherein the optical fiber is connected with a lens and connected with the PZT driving tube, and the PZT driving tube drives the optical fiber to perform spiral motion so as to realize the whole scanning of a focal plane of the lens.
The micro-endoscope probe with multiple modes is characterized in that the auxiliary assembly further comprises an air/water channel and a clamp channel.
The micro endoscopic probe with multiple modes integrates an LED for illumination, a CMOS light sensitive chip and an analog-to-digital conversion chip on a micro camera module.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: according to the micro endoscopic probe with multiple modes, when the micro endoscopic probe works, the micro camera module starts to illuminate and shoot, the micro endoscopic probe is guided to go to a lesion position, then the cable drives the focusing lens group to move in place, so that the lens enters an OCT (optical coherence tomography) mode, and the optical fiber driving tube starts to perform spiral scanning; after the focus is determined, the cable drives the focusing lens group to move, so that the lens enters a confocal mode, the optical fiber driving tube continues to perform spiral scanning, and the property of the focus is analyzed; by arranging a group of lenses, the endoscope lens has a confocal mode and an OCT mode at the same time, and the simultaneous arrangement of three modes of wide-field white light, confocal microscopy and OCT in the endoscope lens with a certain volume limit becomes possible; by arranging the PZT scanning tube, the size of the endoscopic probe is reduced compared with a mainstream galvanometer system, so that the whole endoscopic probe has practicability and compact volume; the size of the endoscopic probe is further reduced by adopting the miniature camera module with the size much smaller than that of the traditional camera module; the miniature endoscopic probe has the characteristics of interference resistance, simplicity, convenience, easy use, compact structure and quick switching.

In some embodiments, the pipe body 1 includes a main pipe 100 and an outer pipe 101, and the outer pipe 101 is wrapped outside the main pipe 100; the lens 2, the optical fiber driving tube 3 and the auxiliary assembly 4 are disposed in the main body tube 100.
In some embodiments, the outer tube 101 is made of a flexible tube made of nylon or other plastics, and is used for protecting human tissues from being injured by the main body tube 100; the outer diameter of the outer tube 101 is 3.5 mm.
In some embodiments, the main tube 100 is made of corrosion-resistant metal such as 6061 aluminum alloy, titanium alloy or stainless steel, and is used for fixing and accommodating other components. Wherein, the 6061 aluminum alloy belongs to AL-Mg-sI alloy, has medium strength, good plasticity and excellent corrosivity, and particularly has no stress corrosion cracking tendency; the alloy has the advantages of excellent weldability, corrosion resistance, easy cold processing and wide application, and can be anodized to further improve the corrosion resistance.
In some embodiments, the main tube 100 and the outer tube 101 are fixed by dispensing and fill the gap to prevent water from damaging the precision parts. In addition, when the micro endoscopic probe is designed to be used as a soft endoscope, the length of the outer tube 101 is much longer than that of the main tube 100, and functions to support and support the main tube 100, whereas when the micro endoscopic probe is designed to be used as a hard endoscope, the main tube 100 and the outer tube 101 are equally long.
In some embodiments, the lens 2 includes a front lens 203, a focusing lens assembly 201, and a rear lens 200 arranged in sequence, the front lens 203 is fixedly installed in the tube 1, the focusing lens assembly 201 and the rear lens 200 are installed in a connected manner, the focusing lens assembly 201 is connected to a cable 202, and the cable 202 is driven to drive the focusing lens assembly 201 to move back and forth in the tube 1, so as to switch the micro endoscopic probe between confocal microscopy and OCT.
In some embodiments, the front lens 203 is a plano-convex thick lens.
In some embodiments, the focusing lens assembly 201 includes a self-focusing lens and a double-cemented lens, a stainless steel cable 202 is bonded to a side surface of the focusing lens assembly 201, and a driving mechanism at a rear end of the cable 202 moves back and forth to switch the lens 2 between OCT and confocal states.

In the lens 2, as shown in fig. 2, when the incident light angle changes relative to the optical axis of the lens 2, the lens 2 as a scanning lens can also generate a flat imaging surface, and the spot size distortion is extremely small; changing the incidence angle to enable the focal spot to scan the image plane in the whole field of view; the low f-theta distortion produces a geometrically corrected image without extensive post-image processing. The scanning lens can also maximally couple the light signal scattered or emitted by the sample into the detection system; in addition, the spot size of the image plane is almost the same over the entire field of view, so the imaging resolution is also almost constant over the entire scanned sample, the angular magnification of the lens 2 in this state is 0.67, and the working distance is 1.32 mm. In the confocal state, as shown in fig. 3, the lens 2 is a microscope objective lens having an achromatic microscope objective lens with 3.3X magnification, and the working distance is 0.2 mm; it provides diffraction limit performance in a wide field range, and the whole field has no vignetting effect; the lens 2 comprises an optical element coated with an antireflection film to improve the transmittance; however, the characteristics of the objective lens greatly reduce the field of view in this mode, and the short working distance makes it possible to perform only surface analysis, and it is necessary to conduct the intra-operative non-invasive pathological analysis of the tissue at the cellular level by means of the guidance of the lesion discovered by the 3D scan in the OCT mode provided by the aforementioned scanning lens.
