Microtubule holder convenient for microscope operation
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of holders, in particular to a microtube holder convenient to operate under a microscope.
Background
In some narrow areas (the narrowest width is only 3 cm), fine stereotactic instruments (space coordinate error 100 μm) are used for placing microtubules (microtubule diameter 100 μm to 400 μm) or microwires (microwire diameter 70 μm to 400 μm), and the minimum horizontal spacing between the microtubules or microwires to be placed is up to 1000 μm. Such operations are highly skilled to the operator and often such fine operations are performed with the aid of a stereomicroscope and stereotactic apparatus and by means of a holder. For example, referring to fig. 1, the existing clamp 01 includes a fixed clamping piece 02, a movable clamping piece 03, an adjusting screw 04 and a connecting rod 05, which can firmly clamp a micro tube or a micro wire, and because the clamping function is realized by the adjusting screw 04, the clamp occupies a large operation interface, so that the sight line in the microscope direction is easily blocked, the operation interface can be observed only from a limited angle and working distance, the real-time position of the lower end of the micro tube or the micro wire cannot be tracked, and thus, the three-dimensional coordinates of the micro tube or the micro wire can be accurately positioned under the limited interface, and the operation is complicated. For example, when a plurality of 100 μm electrode microtubules are implanted in the brain of a mouse on a stereotactic apparatus, the space occupied by the existing holder 01 is large and there is a significant space conflict with the components on the stereotactic apparatus, so that the intended positioning implantation operation cannot be completed. Meanwhile, the space occupied by the two clamping pieces exceeds 2mm, so that the second microtube cannot be placed nearby the first microtube by 2mm in the horizontal direction after the first microtube is implanted.
The operation is fine, so that an instrument for clamping the microtubes or the microwires is required to be exquisite and flexible while being firmly clamped, and is convenient to operate, so that all movement tracks of the lower ends of the microtubes or the microwires on an operation interface can be seen under a microscope.

Embodiments of the present application provide a microtube holder that facilitates operation under a microscope. The microtube holder is compact and small, the length and width of the occupied interface space are only 20mm multiplied by 8mm multiplied by 5mm, and the expected microtube or microfilament positioning operation can be completed smoothly in the narrowest 30mm narrow area.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the microtube holder according to the embodiment of the present application for facilitating the operation under a microscope includes a first clip 1, a second clip 2, and a plurality of stopper pins 3. Wherein the first clamping piece 1 and the second clamping piece 2 are oppositely arranged. The front end of the first clamping piece 1 is provided with a first clamping part 11, the rear end is provided with a first connecting part 12, and the top is provided with a connecting rod 4 for connecting a stereotactic instrument. The front end of the second clamping piece 2 is provided with a second clamping part 21, and the rear end is provided with a second connecting part 22. The first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 22 are both slidably connected to the stopper pin 3. The first permanent magnet 13 is arranged in the first connecting part 12, the second permanent magnet 23 is arranged in the second connecting part 22, and the first permanent magnet 13 and the second permanent magnet 23 are attracted to each other. The magnetic force between the first permanent magnet 13 and the second permanent magnet 23 can just clamp the microtube or microwire and can manually separate the first clip 1 from the second clip 2.
Therefore, compared with the technical scheme of clamping the microtubes or the microwires through adjusting screws in the prior art, the microtube clamp provided by the embodiment of the application has the advantages that the structure is simplified, the volume is reduced, the microtubes or the microwires are not blocked, and therefore, all movement tracks of the lower ends of the microtubes or the microwires on an operation interface can be seen under a microscope, and the purpose of tracking the real-time positions of the lower ends of the microtubes or the microwires is further realized.
Meanwhile, when the microtubule holder is used for loading the microtubule or the microfilament, only two clamping pieces are needed to be manually separated, the microtubule or the microfilament is loaded and then released, and the magnetic force of the permanent magnets in the two clamping pieces can automatically clamp the microtubule or the microfilament, so that the microtubule holder is reliable in clamping and very convenient to operate.
Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the top surfaces of the first connection parts 12 are each provided with a first mounting cavity 14 with an opening facing upward, the lower portion of the first permanent magnet 13 is embedded in the first mounting cavity 14, and the upper portion of the first permanent magnet 13 protrudes out of the first mounting cavity 14. The top surface of the second connecting portion 22 is provided with a second installation cavity 24 with an upward opening, the lower portion of the second permanent magnet 23 is embedded into the second installation cavity 24, and the upper portion of the second permanent magnet 23 extends out of the second installation cavity 24. Thereby, the first permanent magnet 13 and the second permanent magnet 23 are easily attached and detached.
With continued reference to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the stop pins 3 are cylindrical pins, and the stop pins 3 are three, and the line connecting the end surface center points of the three stop pins 3 is a regular triangle. Thereby, the first clip 1 and the second clip 2 are hung in a three-point surface-forming manner. It should be noted that the number of the limit pins 3 may be two or four, which is not limited herein.
With continued reference to fig. 3, in order to ensure a fixed vertical direction for preventing the microtubes or microwires from being damaged when they are clamped, in some embodiments, the clamping surface of the first clamping portion 11 is provided with a groove 25 extending in the vertical direction, the groove width of the groove 25 is 0.8 times the diameter of the microtubes or microwires, and the clamping surface of the second clamping portion 21 is provided with an elastic protection pad 5. Specifically, the elastic protection pad 5 is a rubber pad adhered or bound on the second clamping portion 21. Therefore, the microtubule or microfilament can be ensured to have a definite direction when being clamped, and the microtubule or microfilament is prevented from being damaged due to too large clamping force.
In some embodiments, the connecting rod 4 is a cylinder of stainless steel, the connecting rod 4 having a length of 200mm and a diameter of 6mm. Thus, the space is saved and the connection with the stereotactic instrument can be reliably realized.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in order to make the first clip 1 and the second clip 2 as small as possible while securing a sufficient clamping force, in some embodiments, the first clip 1 has a length×width×height=20 mm×5mm×4mm, and the second clip 2 has the same size as the first clip 1. The first clamping piece 1 and the second clamping piece 2 are both single-piece clamping mouths, namely, the thickness of the first clamping part 11 is smaller than that of the first connecting part 12, and the thickness of the second clamping part 21 is smaller than that of the second connecting part 22. Specifically, the first clamping portion 11 and the second clamping portion 21 are 6mm in length, 0.4mm in thickness and 1.5mm in width. Therefore, on the premise that the microtubule holder can reliably hold the microtubules or the microfilaments, the microtubules or the microfilaments adjacent to 800 mu m in the horizontal direction can be successfully positioned in daily work, the lower ends of the microtubules or the microfilaments can be well exposed, and the real-time position can be determined under a microscope.

Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
