The embodiment of the utility model provides a micro-imaging system of structured light illumination, it is shown with reference to figure 1 that this micro-imaging system includes: an illumination module 10, a super surface modulator 20, an object stage 30 and a receiving module 40. Wherein the lighting module 10 is configured to emit light; the super-surface modulator 20 is located on the light-emitting side of the illumination module 10, and configured to modulate incident light into a periodic bright-dark interphase pattern and project the periodic bright-dark interphase pattern to the stage 30; the relative angle between the periodic alternating bright and dark patterns and the stage 30 can be varied; the stage 30 is located at the light-emitting side of the super-surface modulator 20 and is configured to place a sample; the receiving module 40 is located on the light-emitting side of the stage 30 and configured to receive a fluorescent signal generated by projecting a periodic alternating bright and dark pattern onto the sample.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the lighting module 10 can emit light to provide light to the super-surface modulator 20 located at the light emitting side thereof; as shown in fig. 1, the illumination module 10 can emit light from top to bottom, that is, the light emitting side of the illumination module 10 is the lower side of fig. 1, and accordingly, the super surface modulator 20 is located on the lower side of the illumination module 10.
The super-surface modulator 20 is a modulator manufactured based on a super-surface technology, has the characteristics of small thickness and lightness, and can modulate light emitted by the illumination module 10, so as to generate a periodic bright-dark alternating pattern; the periodic alternating light and dark patterns may be periodic alternating light and dark stripes, such as sinusoidal stripes. The stage 30 is located on the light-emitting side of the super-surface modulator 20, and a periodic alternating bright and dark pattern can be projected onto the stage 30. As shown in fig. 1, the super-surface modulator 20 is a transmissive super-surface, and is capable of emitting a periodic alternating bright and dark pattern to a stage 30 located therebelow.
Stage 30 is used to position a sample (e.g., animal tissue, plant cells, etc.) so that a periodic alternating bright and dark pattern can be projected onto the sample. Also, the relative angle between the periodic bright-dark interphase pattern and the stage 30 can be changed, so that the relative angle between the periodic bright-dark interphase pattern and the sample can be changed (the sample is generally fixedly placed on the stage 30). For example, the stage 30 is rotatable so that the relative angle between the periodic alternating bright and dark pattern and the sample can be varied. Alternatively, the super-surface modulator 20 can emit a periodic alternating bright and dark pattern with variable angles (or directions); for example, the super-surface modulator 20 may also be rotatable, or the super-surface modulator 20 may be a phase-tunable super-surface to enable changing the angle (or direction) of the generated periodic alternating bright and dark patterns.
When the periodic light and dark alternating patterns and the sample are mutually overlapped, beat frequencies can be generated between the periodic light and dark alternating patterns and the sample, and therefore moire fringes are formed; the spatial frequency of moire fringes is low, but it contains a complex structure of the sample, i.e. a structure of high spatial frequency. That is, the moire fringes convert the high-frequency complex information of the sample into low-frequency information, so that the high-frequency information which cannot pass through the micro-imaging system originally can also pass through the micro-imaging system, and then is recorded by the subsequent receiving module 40. The use of moire fringes to break through the diffraction limit is a mature technique in the SIM system, and will not be described in detail here.
Specifically, the receiving module 40 is similar to an objective lens, and is located on the light-emitting side of the stage 30, so as to be capable of receiving a fluorescence signal generated by projecting a periodic bright-dark interphase pattern onto the sample. By adjusting the relative angle between the periodic bright and dark alternate pattern and the stage 30, the receiving module 40 can receive the fluorescence signals at different relative angles, and can reconstruct an image of the sample based on the plurality of fluorescence signals. The receiving module 40 may include a single photon avalanche diode array (SPAD).
Optionally, referring to fig. 2, the microscopic imaging system further comprises a processing device 60; the processing device 60 is connected to the receiving module 40 and is configured to reconstruct a super-resolved image of the sample based on the fluorescence signals received by the receiving module 40. In this embodiment, the micro-imaging system encodes high spatial frequency information that cannot be detected by the receiving module 40 to a detectable low-frequency image by using the modulated periodic bright-dark interphase pattern, and if the intensity distribution of the periodic bright-dark interphase pattern light field and the finally detected low-frequency encoded moire fringes superimposed with the high spatial frequency information of the sample are known, the original high-frequency information of the sample can be obtained by a calculation method, so as to reconstruct a super-resolution image of the sample; the process of reconstructing a super-resolution image of a sample based on multiple fluorescence signals is a mature technology in the existing SIM system, and is not described in detail here.
The embodiment of the utility model provides a micro-imaging system of structured light illumination can generate periodic light and shade alternate pattern based on super surface modulator 20 on super surface, and its volume is less, and is lighter, thin, can not need SLM and DMD etc. can realize SIM system overall structure simplification, miniaturization, lightweight, is convenient for remove, is applicable to instant detection more, is favorable to the SIM system to obtain better popularization and application. Moreover, the super-surface modulator 20 has the advantages of simple design, easy processing, low cost and high productivity.
Alternatively, the relative angle between the periodic bright-dark alternating pattern and the object stage 30 is changed in a rotating manner (for example, the object stage 30 is rotated, and the like), and the response speed is slow; the embodiment of the utility model provides an in, this super surface modulator 20 is the phase place adjustable super lens, through adjusting this phase place that super surface modulator 20 modulated, can change the relative angle between this periodic light and shade interphase pattern and objective table 30, and this moment, this objective table 30 can be fixed. Specifically, the super-surface modulator 20 is configured to perform different phase modulation on incident light, and the different modulated phases correspond to different spatial directions of the periodic bright-dark interphase pattern.
In the embodiment of the present invention, periodic light and dark alternate patterns in different spatial directions can be generated by performing different phase modulation on the adjustable super-surface modulator 20; wherein, the space direction refers to the direction in which the periodic bright and dark alternating patterns are periodically arranged; for example, if the periodic alternating bright and dark patterns are sinusoidal stripes, the spatial direction may be the arrangement direction of the sinusoidal stripes. By using the phase-adjustable super-surface modulator 20, the modulation effect of the super-surface modulator 20 can be changed, and further, periodic bright and dark alternate patterns in different spatial directions are generated. Generally, the spatial directions of a plurality of periodic bright and dark alternating patterns have periodicity and symmetry; for example, the degree of change of the spatial direction of the periodic bright-dark alternating pattern is the same every time, and the degree of change may be such that the spatial directions of the plurality of periodic bright-dark alternating patterns are symmetrically distributed. For example, each change by 90 °, 60 °, etc.
Referring to fig. 3, the spatial orientation of the periodic alternating bright and dark pattern is changed by 30 ° each time. Specifically, the solid line box in fig. 3 represents high-frequency information of the sample, the position of which is fixed; the dashed box represents a periodic alternating light and dark pattern that is rotatable with different rotation angles corresponding to different spatial directions. Initially, the sample is in the same spatial direction as the periodic alternating bright and dark pattern; as shown in fig. 3 (a), the periodic bright and dark interphase pattern was rotated counterclockwise by 30 °, and the included angle with the sample was 30 °; as shown in fig. 3 (b), the periodic alternating bright and dark pattern is again rotated counterclockwise by 30 ° with an angle of 60 ° to the sample; as shown in fig. 3 (c), the periodic alternating bright and dark pattern is again rotated counterclockwise by 30 °, which makes an angle of 90 ° with the sample; as shown in fig. 3 (d), the periodic alternating bright and dark pattern is again rotated counterclockwise by 30 °, which makes an angle of 120 ° with the sample; as shown in fig. 3 (e), the periodic alternating bright and dark pattern is rotated counterclockwise again by 30 ° and the included angle between it and the sample is 150 °; the periodic alternating light and dark pattern is again rotated counter clockwise by 30 deg., with an angle of 180 deg. (or 0) to the sample, i.e. the sample is again in the same spatial direction as the periodic alternating light and dark pattern, not shown in fig. 3. Also, the isotropic spectrum obtained by the periodic bright and dark alternating pattern in six spatial directions can be seen in fig. 4.
Further optionally, the stage 30 is configured to be movable along a plane. For example, stage 30 can be moved in a direction perpendicular to the main optical axis of super-surface modulator 20 so that periodic alternating bright and dark patterns can be applied to different positions of stage 30 to scan samples at different positions on stage 30.
Optionally, the present embodiment provides phase adjustability by applying different excitations to the super-surface modulator 20.
