Technical Field

The utility model relates to a part of a phase contrast microscope, in particular to a light source device of the phase contrast microscope.

Background

Phase contrast microscopy is the most commonly used microscope in biological studies, which often involves the observation of thin, transparent samples, such as cells, which are often difficult to directly see under ordinary light microscopy because they are too thin and transparent. When we observe cells in middle school biology experiments, we often use a specific dye to stain the cells, or directly observe colored cells, such as onion epidermal cells. However, in actual biological research, a method for directly observing cells without treatment is needed, and the phase contrast microscope well solves the problem. After the illumination light passes through the transparent sample, the imaging cannot be directly observed due to small light intensity change, but due to the components and the density of the sample, different phase shifts are generated when the light passes through, and the phase contrast microscope essentially performs imaging by using the phase shift. The good illumination condition is an indispensable condition for biological research, in order to provide the good illumination condition, the light source devices of the existing phase contrast microscopes are complex and have large volume, and in addition, the light path needs to be processed when switching between phase contrast imaging and bright field imaging, so the operation is very inconvenient.
