Description

Super-resolution fluorescence microscope equipment based on tangential polarization
Technical field
The utility model relates to the fluorescent microscope field, is specifically related to the super-resolution fluorescence microscope equipment.
Background technology
Since Abbe in 1873 found that for the first time the far-field optics imaging has the diffraction-limited phenomenon, community of physicists just generally acknowledged that the microscopical resolution of far-field optics is subject to optical diffraction limit, and this limit is relevant with the wavelength and the numerical aperture of light source.Because the restriction of optical diffraction, the ideal point thing can not obtain a desirable picture point through optical system imaging, but becomes a Fraunhofer diffraction picture.General optical system all is circular, and it is exactly so-called Airy disk that Fraunhofer diffraction looks like.At the picture as each object point of plane all is a disc of confusion, and two discs of confusion have limited the resolution of system like this near with regard to bad differentiation, and disc of confusion is big more, and resolution is low more.Therefore, since the century, the microscopical resolution of traditional far-field optics (~200nm) be the obstacle that can't go beyond always.How to break through optical diffraction limit and further improve microscopical resolution, can observing more under optical microscope, the object of small scale is the topic of a hot topic.Potential meaning is to observe the more real-time living body biological phenomenon of small scale under optical microscope, explores the life secret.
In recent years, appearance along with new theory and technology such as the burnt microtechnic of 4 π copolymerization, stimulated emission loss microtechnic, photoactivation location microtechnic, saturated structures illumination microtechnic, the resolution of far-field optics micro-imaging is improved greatly, can see the protein of nanoscale on living cells.These technical progress certainly will greatly promote development of life science.And one of these technology, be that the stimulated emission loss microscope (Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy) of the U.S. Patent Publication of US5731588 is described as the method that application prospect is arranged most by the patent No..It is from physically breaking the far field fluorescence microscopy of the diffraction optics limit, to the very big challenge of conventional physical viewpoint.Its concrete principle is: use a kind of circularly polarized laser, only excite the fluorophor of a point that it is fluoresced, and then suppress fluorescence intensity around that point with the circular polarization light source of a loaf of bread circle sample, so just have only the point in centre luminous and be observed less than diffraction limit.Two bundle laser (that is: exciting light and stimulated emission loss laser) are through being radiated at same position on the sample simultaneously after the ovennodulation, wherein, exciting light makes fluorescent material luminous, stimulated emission loss laser (being STED laser) is beam of laser that be close to exciting light, ring-like, that wavelength is long, make to excite in the hot spot most fluorescent material to get back to ground state by force, thereby suppress fluorescence radiation to reduce fluorescent emission hot spot area by the optical nonlinearity effect.The exciting light hot spot is after the modulation of STED laser, the spot size of emitting fluorescence molecule has reduced greatly, and increase along with the STED laser intensity, energy emitting fluorescence hot spot is more little, its full width at half maximum can reach below the diffraction limit, resolution is limited by diffraction of light no longer, thereby breaks diffraction limit.From the proposition of STED theory in 1994, after experiment for many years, developed the ultrahigh resolution microtechnic up to Hell in 2000, can obtain ultrahigh resolution 3-D view below the 100nm by 3-D scanning.
Although the STED microtechnic has obtained certain development, yet up to the present STED principle and method also are not widely used, be in particular in: (1) existing pulse STED measuring system light path complexity, the optical component that uses is many, comprises the electronic control system of expensive pulsed laser, complexity etc.(2) very high to the stability requirement of system, in order to guarantee resolution, 2~3 hours needs of general work are recalibrated.(3) in order to reach the STED effect, the optical intensity density of STED laser exceeds 1000-10000 doubly than exciting light, even higher, and so high light intensity is a fatal damage to most of biological sample.(4) resolution of theory unlimited in fact is limited, because also increased fluorescent bleach in the high-resolution while of pursuit, thereby reduces imaging resolution and image quality.Afterwards, in order to enlarge the depth of focus of STED system, the patent No. is the mode that the United States Patent (USP) of US7709809 has proposed the combination bit phase-plate.In order to improve system stability, application number: 201010177761.6 Chinese patent has proposed a kind of method of real-Time Compensation drift.And for the above-mentioned too high problem of STED operating power, never be well solved.Thereby the operating power that how to reduce STED laser reduces the bleaching of sample, avoids the damage to sample, is a difficult problem of STED microtechnic always.Be to utilize a kind of circularly polarized light to assemble in the existing STED system as exciting light, with the circularly polarized light (STED light) of another wavelength through the vortex phase board generation bagel fluorophore emitting fluorescence that disinthibites.Its characteristics: the one, the circular polarization exciting light is difficult to focus on below the diffraction limit; The 2nd, utilize circularly polarized light to disinthibite and excite hot spot fluorescence on every side by vortex phase board formation bagel, it suppresses effect has only by increasing the STED laser power.

In the formula,
Figure BSA00000187765100082

Phase coding tangential polarization exciting light R1 turns back 90 ° through first dichroscope 5, and light is R3.
Second laser instrument 2 sends and is used to suppress the STED laser that fluorescent samples sends fluorescence, is converted to tangential polarization STED laser R2 through the second tangential polarization converter 6, turns back 90 ° through second dichroscope 7 again, merges into on-axis rays R23 with R3.
On-axis rays R23 is through the high-NA secondary color aplanat 8 that disappears, wherein, exciting light forms the super-resolution focus hot spot on high-NA disappears the focal plane, picture side of secondary color aplanat 8, STED light forms the focal beam spot of bagel on high-NA disappears the focal plane, picture side of secondary color aplanat 8.2 spot center points overlap fully, disappear secondary color aplanat 8 of high-NA adopts the microcobjective that 100 of NA=1.4 * the secondary color difference that disappears has flat field correction herein, and use the immersion oil of refractive index n=1.518 in the picture side of object lens (object lens focusing hot spot one side), purpose is in order to make object lens reach 1.4 numerical aperture, can to reach better focusing effect.In this case, to form with the desirable focus of geometrical optics on high-NA disappears the focal plane, picture side of secondary color aplanat 8 be the focal beam spot at center for R3 and R2 light beam.Near the focal beam spot light beam Electric Field Distribution can be calculated by following formula:

In the formula,
Figure BSA00000187765100084
Be to be the cylindrical coordinate of initial point with desirable focal position, C is a normaliztion constant, and A1 is light beam R2 or R3 light distribution parameter, and A2 is the disappear structural parameters of secondary color aplanat 8 of numerical aperture.Δ α is the bit phase delay amount,
Figure BSA00000187765100085
Be the angle of polar coordinates vector in position on the phase board plane and x axle, i is an imaginary unit, and k=2 π/λ, n are medium refraction index, and θ is disappear the focused ray behind the secondary color aplanat and the angle of optical axis.Adopt above-mentioned formula can calculate the size of the hot spot on the focal plane respectively.
Wherein light beam R3 is a small solid hot spot after focusing on, and its full width at half maximum is below diffraction limit.Fig. 4 is the light intensity section comparison diagram of other polarized light in phase coding tangential polarization exciting light and the prior art on high-NA disappears secondary color aplanat 8 focusing back focal planes.Can draw phase coding tangential polarization exciting light focus point full width at half maximum minimum of the present utility model by Fig. 4, its full width at half maximum is 0.34 optical wavelength, in 0.357 of diffraction limit (numerical aperture all is NA=1.4 here) below the optical wavelength.As adopting the aperture to block further optimization again, can reach the full width at half maximum of 0.26 optical wavelength, so, do not using STED to carry out under the condition of delustring, the following high resolving power of diffraction limit has just been arranged.Although the focusing tangential polarization light that blocks after the optimization with footpath with holes has secondary lobe, but these secondary lobes are beyond full width at half maximum is half-wavelength, utilize the influence beyond can the elimination half-wavelength of copolymerization Jiao's receive mode, therefore systemic resolution is not impacted at this secondary lobe.Therefore, utilize the tangential polarization exciting light can realize the focusing that diffraction limit is following.
And tangential polarization STED laser R2 is the hollow hot spot of a bagel after focusing on, and to carrying out further delustring in exciting light R3 hot spot marginal portion, further improves systemic resolution.The utility model unlike previous technologies be, tangential polarization STED light does not need to carry out 0~2 π vortex phase coding, directly focus on and just can obtain bagel hot spot (hollow hot spot), and other STED polarized light just has the bagel hot spot after need focusing on through the vortex phase coding again.Fig. 5 is the light intensity section comparison diagram of other phase coding polarized light in tangential polarization STED laser and the prior art on high-NA disappears secondary color aplanat 8 focusing back focal planes.As seen from Figure 5, radial polarisation and linear polarization can't be used in the STED microtechnic because the central point energy is non-vanishing, and be used in the STED microtechnic, the energy highest point of tangential polarization STED laser of the present utility model than the energy highest point of circularly polarized light more near central point.If the energy peak behind circularly polarized light and tangential polarization STED laser focusing is respectively made straight line to the central energy minimum point, the slope that can find straight line under the tangential polarization STED laser more precipitous (absolute value of slope is bigger), this explanation tangential polarization STED laser uses the convergence ratio circularly polarized light when doing the exciting light delustring to use the convergence when doing the exciting light delustring to want soon.That is to say that under identical power condition tangential polarization STED light is stronger to the extinction capability of exciting light, can obtain higher resolution.Therefore, under identical resolution situation, the operating power of the needed STED light of tangential polarization light is littler, has played the effect that reduces the STED luminous power.
Exciting light R3 is after STED light R2 modulation, the area of fluorescence excitation dwindles greatly, reach diameter below 100nm, the central point emitted fluorescence is collected through disappear secondary color aplanat 8 of above-mentioned same high-NA, see through first dichroscope 5 and second dichroscope 7, pass through narrow band pass filter 11 filtering again with the elimination ground unrest, and focus on the pin hole 13 through achromatism condenser lens 12, fluorescence signal is after the further elimination background stray light of needle passing hole 13 filtering, see through pin hole 13 and incide the fluorescence light intensity that obtains on the sample certain any fluorescence signal on the photodetector 14, handle by 10 pairs of fluorescent samples scannings of mobile nanometer translation stage with to the fluorescence intensity follow-up data again, obtain the micro-image of ultrahigh resolution.
