Description

Phase contrast microscopy method and system based on multi-step phase shift
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of optics and quantitative phase measurement.
Background
Phase contrast microscopy techniques are widely used for microscopic observation of living cells, causing non-contact and qualitatively responsive phase changes in the sample. However, the phase contrast microscopy can only be used for observing samples with small phase changes, and cannot quantitatively measure the phase of the samples. The advantages of digital holography, non-destructive, non-invasive, full-field measurement, etc., make it applicable to quantitative phase measurements. However, the digital holographic method requires complex and large amount of calculation, has high requirements for light source coherence, the whole system has complex structure and high requirements for measuring environmental vibration and the like, and cannot meet the requirements for measuring quantitative phase under any environment.

In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the invention provides a multi-step phase shift-based phase contrast microscopy method and system, and the method is used for quantitatively measuring the phase from a phase contrast microscopy light path.
In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows: a phase contrast microscopy method based on multi-step phase shift is characterized by comprising the following steps:
s1, adjusting a light path, and collecting parallel light at one point on a phase type spatial light modulator after the parallel light passes through a lens without placing a sample to be detected, wherein the point is marked as an O point;
s2, placing a sample in front of the lens, and recording pha as the phase distribution of the sample to be detected;
s3, loading a constant phase tha1 on the O point of the phase type spatial modulator, and collecting an object beam intensity image modulated by the spatial light modulator by using image collecting equipment, wherein the image is marked as I1=3+2cos(tha1-pha)-2cos(tha1)-2cos(pha);
S4, loading a constant phase tha2 on the O point of the phase type spatial modulator, and collecting an object beam intensity image modulated by the spatial light modulator by using image collecting equipment, wherein the image is marked as I2=3+2cos(tha2-pha)-2cos(tha2)-2cos(pha);
S5, an equation set is constructed by utilizing the relation between I1 and tha1 and pha and the relation between I2 and tha2 and pha, and the phase distribution pha of the sample to be detected can be solved.
The phase type spatial light modulator in the step S1 may be a reflective phase type spatial light modulator or a transmissive phase type spatial light modulator.
The parallel light in step S1 may be natural light or a laser light source.
The sample to be measured in step S2 may be any transmissive and reflective phase-type object such as a living cell.
The range of the constant phase tha1 in step S3 is any real number that is not zero.
The value of the constant phase tha2 in step S4 is any real number that is not zero, is not equal to tha1, and has a difference of not 2 pi.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention for solving the technical problems is as follows: the device comprises a light source, a beam expanding and collimating device, a sample to be measured, a convex lens, a beam splitting prism, an imaging lens, a transmission type phase spatial light modulator, a reflection type phase spatial light modulator, a camera and a computer. The light emitted by the light source is collimated by the collimating device and then passes through the lens to be converged into one point on the transmission type spatial light modulator, the point is marked as an O point, the light emitted by the light source is collimated by the collimating device and then passes through a sample to be detected and then carries sample information to serve as an object beam, the object beam is modulated by the transmission type phase type spatial light modulator with the phase tha1 loaded at the O point, an object beam intensity image I1 is recorded by a CCD, the light emitted by the light source is collimated by the collimating device and then passes through the sample to be detected and then carries the sample information to serve as the object beam, the object beam is modulated by the transmission type phase type spatial light modulator with the phase tha2 loaded at the O point, the object beam intensity image I2 is recorded by the CCD, and an equation set is established by using the intensity images recorded twice, so that the phase distribution of the sample to be detected can be detected.
The method overcomes the limitation that the traditional multiplication microscopy only can measure a sample with tiny phase change, can calculate the real phase of the sample by establishing an equation set through multi-step phase shift, has no requirement on the coherence of a light source, has a simple structure, can effectively avoid adverse effects caused by environmental vibration, and has important significance for quantitative phase measurement microscopy.
