Embodiment
In order to make the purpose of this utility model, technical scheme and advantage clearer,, the utility model is further elaborated below in conjunction with drawings and Examples.Should be appreciated that specific embodiment described herein only in order to explanation the utility model, and be not used in qualification the utility model.
In the utility model embodiment, on polarization state, there are differences this characteristic from exciting light and fluorescence, utilize polarizer to filter exciting light, extract fluorescence, the not restriction of stimulated luminescence and wavelength of fluorescence.
Fig. 1 shows the structured flowchart of the fluorescent microscopic imaging system that the utility model embodiment provides, and for convenience of explanation, has only provided the part relevant with the utility model embodiment among the figure.
With reference to Fig. 1, the fluorescent microscopic imaging system that the utility model embodiment provides need comprise linearly polarized light generation unit, spectroscope BS, object lens O, the first polaroid P1 and CCD camera at least, the linearly polarized light generation unit is positioned at a side of the plane of incidence of spectroscope BS, object lens O is positioned at the reflected light bright dipping side of spectroscope BS, and the first polaroid P1 and CCD camera are positioned at the transmitted light bright dipping side of spectroscope BS successively.Wherein the linearly polarized light generation unit is used for producing linear polarization exciting light (Fig. 1 is represented by dotted lines), it is orthogonality relation that the linear polarization that the polarization state of the first polaroid P1 and described linearly polarized light generation unit produce excites polarization state of light, so the linear polarization exciting light that the linearly polarized light generation unit produces can't pass through the first polaroid P1.
Spectroscope BS is used to reflect the linear polarization exciting light through it, shines on the sample S behind the exciting light process object lens O after being reflected.Molecule among the sample S is owing to being excited light stimulus, and electronic transition makes molecule enter excited state to the higher energy level track, and the molecule of excited state discharges fluorescence when coming back to ground state.Fluorescence is natural light, is no longer keeping exciting originally polarization state of light.Because exciting light, is reflected back after wherein a part shines sample S not fully by absorption of sample, to producing not contribution of fluorescence signal.After this part exciting light reflected through sample S place, its polarization state almost remained unchanged, and still is linearly polarized light, and it will be polarized spectroscope, the first polaroid P1 double medium filtration, can't arrive the CCD camera.Sample S goes up the fluorescence that produces, and owing to its polarization state is the nature polarization or approaches the nature polarization, after the spectroscope BS and the first polaroid P1 are crossed in the perpendicular smooth transmission of fluorescence energy of polarization state and exciting light, is received by the CCD camera.
Further, the linearly polarized light generation unit comprises the light source and the second polaroid P2, and light source is used to produce exciting light, and the second polaroid P2 cooperates described light source to obtain the linear polarization exciting light.Should be appreciated that if light source can directly send linearly polarized light, the second polaroid P2 can be omitted.
Light path among Fig. 1 is launched, obtain light path principle rough schematic view as shown in Figure 2, wherein, the solid line of the dotted line of the band arrow on the reference surface 1 and reference surface 2 band arrows is represented the polarisation of light direction, and the solid line of the band arrow on polaroid P1, the polaroid P2 is represented the polarization direction of polaroid P1, polaroid P2, the dotted line of the band arrow on the sample S is represented the polarization direction of linearly polarized light, and solid line is the fluorescence direction.Particularly, reference surface 1 position is that (dotted line of band arrow is represented exciting light to exciting light, arrow is represented the polarization direction) the preceding any position of the incident second polaroid P2, exciting polarization state of light is the nature polarization, behind the second polaroid P2 (if placing as vertical polarization among the figure), the exciting light that incides on the sample S is a linearly polarized light.Sample S is excited after the optical excitation, gives off fluorescence signal (band arrow solid line is represented fluorescence, and arrow is represented the polarization direction), and fluorescence is natural light or near natural light.Because the first polaroid P1 and the second polaroid P2 quadrature, exciting light during through the first polaroid P1 owing to its polarization direction is filtered with the polaroid polarization direction is vertical.The sample S fluorescence that is produced that is excited is natural light, and wherein the parallel that part of fluorescence with the first polaroid P1 of polarization state can must pass through the first polaroid P1 smoothly, incides on the CCD camera.
Further, said system can further include a lens subassembly L, lens subassembly L can be positioned at the place ahead (as shown in Figure 1) of the first polaroid P2, also can be positioned at the rear of the first polaroid P2, but need to guarantee that sample S and CCD camera satisfy object-image relation with respect to the position of the compound lens group of lens subassembly L and object lens O formation.
Further, above-mentioned spectroscope specifically selects for use common spectroscope and polarization spectroscope all can.When selecting common spectroscope for use, during through spectroscope, will there be part exciting light and part fluorescence to be reflected through the fluorescence of the exciting light of sample S reflection and generation, spectroscope is crossed in another part transmission in them.When the exciting light of transmission passes through the first follow-up polaroid P1, owing to its polarization state is filtered perpendicular to P1; And spectroscopical fluorescence is crossed in transmission, and its attitude of shaking is nature (or near a nature) polarization partially, can pass through the first follow-up polaroid P1, incides on the CCD camera.When selecting polarization spectroscope for use, basically can all be reflected during exciting light process BS, polarization state is parallel to that part of of exciting light and also is reflected in the fluorescence, and perpendicular to that part of fluorescence generation transmission of exciting light, transmission is crossed the fluorescence of BS smoothly by the first polaroid P1.Generally consider the extinction ratio not too high (as 1000: 1) of polarization spectroscope, therefore, when not being polarized exciting light that spectroscope filters out fully,, thereby strengthened the image imaging quality once more by filtering through the first polaroid P1.
Further, above-mentioned spectroscope BS can also replace with the dichroic mirror that is coated with exciting light highly reflecting films and fluorescence anti-reflection film, highly reflecting films on the dichroic mirror are high anti-to exciting light, anti-reflection film then can be high saturating to fluorescence, but highly reflecting films are thorough inadequately to exciting reflection of light, also can be mingled with a little exciting light in the light that anti-reflection film transmits, therefore, need follow-up polarization filtering method to carry out further filtering exciting light, extract fluorescence signal.Certainly, if use dichroic mirror to divide the light time, can certain dependence effect be arranged to light wavelength.
Further, can also before the second polaroid P2, increase other optical component when specifically implementing, increase other unpolarized optics components and parts behind the second polaroid P2; Perhaps before the first polaroid P1, increase other unpolarized optics components and parts, increase other optical component behind the first polaroid P1, do not influence the extraction of fluorescence signal.Also can between the second polaroid P2 and the first polaroid P1, increase some and can make polarization state produce the rotatory device of θ angle rotation, simultaneously,, or make the second polaroid P2 rotation-θ angle the same anglec of rotation θ of the first polaroid P1; So the linear polarization exciting light ends with the second polaroid P2 owing to its polarization state is still vertical during through the first polaroid P1, fluorescence still can pass through the first polaroid P1, finally images on the CCD camera.
Fig. 3 A tested the image that is collected before adopting polarization filtering, Fig. 3 B has used the image that experiment obtains behind the polarization filtering.From Fig. 3 A, Fig. 3 B as can be known, the polarization filtering scheme of this patent institute utility model can be eliminated exciting light, extracts fluorescence signal, improves picture quality.In order to compare with traditional frequency filtering method, we have also gathered the frequency of utilization filter method and have carried out filtered image in experiment, be Fig. 3 C.Comparison diagram 3B, 3C more as can be known, the picture quality that is obtained by polarization filtering method of the present utility model is not worse than traditional filter method.It is pointed out that the polarization filtering method is adopted in this experiment the polarizer and analyzer are homemade absorption-type polaroid (Daheng Xinshijiyuan Science ﹠ Technology Co., Ltd., model GCL-050003), its extinction ratio is 500: 1; That compare that the frequency filtering method of experiment adopts is U.S.'s import filter plate (Chroma Technology Corp, model HQ510lp).If adopt the analyzing device of High Extinction Ratio, as Glan Taylor polaroid extinction ratio less than 5 * 10
-6, utilize the picture quality that fluorescent microscopic imaging method obtained of this patent utility model that raising further also will be arranged.
The characteristic of the utility model embodiment difference on polarization state based on exciting light and fluorescence, utilize polarizer to filter exciting light, extract fluorescence signal, leaching process is the restriction of stimulated luminescence and wavelength of fluorescence not, can strengthen the fluorescence imaging quality, be suitable for the exciting light and the fluorescence of different wave length; The utility model embodiment also is suitable for the laser pumping sample with tunable wave length, produces the multispectral imaging fluorescent microscope of the fluorescence of polychrome.
The above only is preferred embodiment of the present utility model; not in order to restriction the utility model; all any modifications of within spirit of the present utility model and principle, being done, be equal to and replace and improvement etc., all should be included within the protection domain of the present utility model.
