Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of confocal optical scanner, the confocal optical scanner of the ring illumination method particularly using incident angle adjustable.The present invention is mainly used in biomedical micro-imaging field, also can be used for investigation of materials and integrated circuit (IC) chip is detected as picture.
Background technology
Along with going deep into of RESEARCH ON CELL-BIOLOGY, the application of fluorescent microscope imaging is more and more general, and confocal microscopic image is paid attention to especially widely.What current confocal imaging system used is traditional, uniform light source, illumination light converges through pin hole through lens, again via microscopical object lens illuminated sample, the light signal finally being reflected by detector collected specimens by object lens and pin hole or launched, to obtain the Confocal Images with certain axial resolution.Wherein, illumination light is to the illumination of sample part being positioned at object lens focal plane, and be better than the sample part being positioned at the non-focal plane of object lens, the light signal of the non-focal plane sample of part is stopped by the pin hole of confocal imaging system, and part is still detected device by pin hole and is detected as noise.
As shown in Figure 2, for the biological sample of printing opacity, illumination light sends from the light source 1 of confocal microscopic image system, except the sample 17a being irradiated to the focal plane being positioned at micro objective, same irradiation is positioned at the sample 17b of the non-focal plane of object lens 16, and illumination intensity increases with the axial distance of non-focal plane sample 17b and focal plane and reduces rapidly.If increase the illumination pin hole 8 of confocal microscopic image system or the diameter of image pinhole 15, then axial resolution reduces, and the Confocal Images brightness of acquisition increases.This shows to use traditional lighting mode, the illumination of the sample 17b to non-focal plane cannot be avoided, but not the signal of focal plane sample 17b is for the signal of focal plane sample 17a, for the picture noise of confocal imaging system, this noise reduction signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) of image, reduces the axial resolution of confocal imaging system.
In addition, use the confocal microscopic image system of traditional collimated light source to the illumination of non-focal plane sample 17b, the fluorescent dye temper also accelerating non-focal plane sample 17b goes out.Thus, using confocal microscopic image system sample thrown light on for a long time or 3-D scanning imaging time, the requirement of going out of the Ying Guang Kang temper of focusing plane sample 17a and non-focal plane 17b is higher, increases the difficulty of scientific experiment.
