The existing method for eliminating zero-order light includes introducing a light beam blocking block, adding Fresnel lens phase and adding cylindrical lens for scattering. The beam blocking block is added in the process of transmitting the zero-order diffraction light to prevent the zero-order diffraction light from continuously transmitting, so that the zero-order diffraction light does not enter the objective lens and does not participate in fluorescence excitation, but the method can introduce a dead zone in an excitation field. The Fresnel lens phase is added when the phase is loaded, a negative lens phase is added, and then a focusing lens is placed on an optical path to separate a zero-order light field from a target light field in the axial direction. The addition of cylindrical lens scattering is to intentionally introduce cylindrical lens aberration in the light path to disperse the zero-order diffraction light, so that the zero-order diffraction light is distributed in a large-range volume, and the light intensity of the zero-order diffraction light in a unit area on a focal plane is reduced, but the method cannot completely eliminate the zero-order light.
