Description

The photoelectric image conversion equipment of optical microscope

The utility model relates to the photoelectric image conversion equipment of optical microscope.

People become can be monitored the electricity picture signal of device or computer Recognition by the Optics in Microscope image transitions of photoelectric image conversion with visualization, so that the Optics in Microscope image is carried out screen display or processing, analysis and storage.Obviously, the application function of optical microscope has been widened in the application of photoelectric image switch technology effectively, is widely used in fields such as teaching, medical science and fine detection, analysis, demonstration.For a long time, the photoelectric image conversion for optical microscope rests on the employing charge-coupled device (CCD) always.Because the driving circuit of CCD is quite complicated, bulky, all need adopt relay optical system that optical imagery is transformed into the CCD photosurface when therefore being used for microscope, could realize the opto-electronic conversion of image, not only picture element difference and cost height, big, the use inconvenience of structure.

The purpose of this utility model be propose a kind of simple in structure, cost is low, can directly the optical imagery of micro objective be converted in high quality to the photoelectric image conversion equipment of the optical microscope of electricity picture signal.

In recent years, developed a kind of on chip piece imaging sensor---complementary type oxide semiconductor (the being abbreviated as CMOS) imaging sensor of integrated light-sensitive array device and treatment circuit.

The key of the utility model technical solution is that the cmos imaging sensor is placed in the optical microscope eye lens tube, and the photosurface of cmos imaging sensor is overlapped with the imaging surface of micro objective, directly optical imagery is converted to the electricity picture signal.Optical microscope photoelectric image conversion equipment of the present utility model comprises the housing with positioning boss that is used to insert optical microscope eye lens tube, cutoff filter, cmos imaging sensor and CMOS drive circuit board are installed in housing from bottom to top successively, wherein the photosurface of cmos imaging sensor is positioned on the imaging surface of micro objective, and the power lead and the image signal line of CMOS driving circuit stretch out housing.During use, the photoelectric image conversion equipment is inserted in the tube of optical microscope eye lens tube, then the optical imagery of micro objective can be directly changed into the electricity picture signal through the cmos imaging sensor again and be passed to display screen or computing machine through cutoff filter.

Because being the photosurface with the cmos imaging sensor, the utility model overlaps with the micro objective imaging surface, therefore needn't can directly convert the optical imagery high-quality to the electricity picture signal by any relay optical system, again because the light-sensitive array device and the treatment circuit of cmos imaging sensor are to be integrated in in the chip piece, its volume is little, price is low, so the photoelectric image conversion equipment that adopts the cmos imaging sensor to make has the characteristics of low cost, light structure, brings convenience to use.

Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the utility model is further described.

Fig. 1 is a kind of concrete structure synoptic diagram of the present utility model;

Fig. 2 is a kind of application example of the present utility model.

The photoelectric image conversion equipment that is used for optical microscope shown in Figure 1, comprise cylindrical shell 1 with positioning boss 2, cutoff filter 4, cmos imaging sensor 5 and CMOS drive circuit board 7 are installed in cylindrical shell from bottom to top successively, and the power lead 3 and the image signal line 6 of CMOS driving circuit stretch out housing.Can cooperate closely with the eye lens tube for this device is inserted in the microscope eye lens tube, guarantee image stabilization, example is set O shape rubber ring 9 on the cylinder outer wall below the housing positioning boss 2 as shown.Because the imaging surface of microscopical object lens 12 generally is in 10mm place (see figure 2) in eye lens tube 11 end faces, therefore making the photosurface 8 of cmos imaging sensor and the distance between the positioning boss 2 usually is 10mm, like this, this device is inserted microscope eye lens tube, utilize positioning boss 2 near eye lens tube end face location, microscopical object lens imaging surface is overlapped with the photosurface of cmos imaging sensor.
