Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a high resolution imager with low light level according to the first part of claim 1.
  • CCD charge transfer devices
  • the scintillator 20 generates photons when it detects an electron from the sample or an equivalent source.
  • the light is amplified in the tube 30 then applied to the electronic camera 40.
  • This camera 40 is controlled in single shot mode, and not in video mode, by the module 42.
  • the frame cycles (each cycle being composed of a reset phase of the transfer device of loads, an image integration phase, then a reading phase) follow one another at a fixed rate.
  • each frame cycle is controlled independently of the previous cycle.
  • the camera 40 is controlled in repetitive single shot mode by the external trigger generator 60, that is to say that the camera 40 is controlled to present short and repetitive integration cycles, as opposed to a simple single shot mode consisting in integrating the image of the light source over a long period and then reading only at the end of acquisition.
  • Figure 2 shows the time distribution of a light source or sample.
  • FIG. 3 represents the corresponding response of a light amplifier tube 30.
  • the noise pulses will be noted in FIG. 3.
  • the cycles of the charge transfer device 41 are superimposed on the response of the tube 30, each comprising a phase for resetting the CCD to zero, a phase for integrating the image and a CCD reading phase, on the other hand, the signal triggering these cycles.
  • the technique of piloting the camera 30 in single shot mode repetitive overcomes in part the significant cooling required in a repetitive single shot mode due to the contribution of thermal noise from the light amplifier tube and the camera, which is proportional to the integration time.
  • the external trigger generator 60 is replaced by a photomultiplier 80, associated with a shaping card 81.
  • the photomultiplier 80 is arranged opposite the scintillator 20 relative to the sample holder 10. Thus, the photomultiplier recovers part of the photons generated by the scintillator 20, after these have passed through the sample and the sample holder 10, to generate a synchronized trigger pulse on the appearance of a light event.
  • the integration time can be adjusted to a minimum value solely as a function of the phosphorus decay period of the light amplifier tube 30 and the duration of the reset phase of the charge transfer device 41.
  • This system is first of all dependent on the thickness of the sample used. If the sample is too thick, the photonmultiplier 80 receives little or no light.
  • this system is essentially limited to the field of molecular biology experiments, but cannot for example be used in the field of astrophysics.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve the situation by eliminating the drawbacks of the prior art.
  • the imager according to the present invention shown in FIG. 7 appended comprises a light amplifier tube 300, an electronic camera 400, a control circuit 700 and a computer 500.
  • the light amplifier tube 300 is preferably of the proximity focusing type equipped with a double microchannel pancake giving a high gain.
  • This tube 300 essentially comprises, as shown in the appended FIG. 7: a photocathode 310, two wafers 330, 331 to microchannels serving as an electron amplifier, and a phosphor screen 340, forming an anode.
  • the phosphor screen 340 more precisely comprises a phosphor layer 341, covered, on the wafer side 330, 331, with a thin metallic layer 342, generally aluminum.
  • the spray of secondary electrons corresponding to the amplification of a photoelectron by the wafers 330, 331 is accelerated towards the screen 340.
  • the electrons are slowed down in this screen, there is production of light by the medium 341 excited, and the electrons are collected in a few ns on the metallized face 342 of the screen.
  • the electron / electron gain of a tube 300 with double wafers 330, 331 is typically of the order of 105.
  • the control circuit 700 comprises an amplifier 710 sensitive to the electrons collected on the metal layer of the screen 340 to control the integration cycles of the camera 400, via of a door 714.
  • the function of this door 714 is to transform the analog signal from the amplifier 710 into a logic signal.
  • Gate 714 essentially proceeds by integration and comparison with a threshold. It may, for example, be the integrating linear door sold by the company SEPH.
  • Gate 714 is placed between the output of amplifier 710 and the input of module 420.
  • the metal layer 342 of the screen is connected to ground through a resistor R712 and the metal layer 342 is connected to a first input of the operational amplifier 710 , while the second input of it is connected to ground.
  • This voltage is amplified by the voltage amplifier 710.
  • the latter is of the low noise and wide bandwidth type.
  • the signal is then integrated under load and then subjected to a voltage threshold, in gate 714, the validation of which constitutes the trigger signal applied to the module 420.
  • the electronic camera 400 used in the context of the present invention advantageously comprises a charge transfer device (CCD) 410, a pilot module 420 and a module 430 for shaping the signals picked up on the CCD, in a similar manner to the systems previously known, previously described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 5.
  • CCD charge transfer device
  • the trigger signal from gate 714 is then applied to the input of the pilot module 420, so that each trigger signal initiates a reset or "wash" cycle of the CCD, of integration of the image on the CCD, then read it via the module 430.
  • the signals thus obtained then pass through an interface card 720 before being directed to the computer 500 or they are processed in a manner known per se, as described in the prior documents previously described.
  • the phosphor screen 340 must have a period compatible with the duration of resetting the CCD 410. This screen must memorize the image during the resetting of the CCD which precedes each integration.
  • the imager according to the present invention makes it possible to produce an image of a very weak light source (sensitivity to the single photoelectron) with a resolution of the order of 20 ⁇ m.
  • CCD charge transfer device
  • a charge transfer device is a matrix network of around 104 small photosensitive cells (around 20x20 ⁇ m) capable of transforming each received photon into electron.
  • Each cell accumulates during the integration phase, a quantity of charges proportional to the illumination it receives.
  • the stage reading consists in sequentially transferring the content of each cell to an imaging device (in this case preferably the computer 500, via the interface card 720).
  • the charge transfer device 410 can be replaced by a CID type device known to those skilled in the art in which the charges accumulated in each cell are read directly without transfer .
  • the inventors notably carried out tests using an imager comprising a tube 300 light amplifier with proximity focusing equipped with a double microchannel wafer 330, 331 to obtain an electron / electron gain of the order of 105 and a fast phosphor screen (P47), a 400 CCD electronic camera, a low noise ( ⁇ 5 mV) wide bandwidth 710 voltage amplifier (of the order of 200 MHz) having a voltage gain of 100 , and an integrating linear door 714 sold by the company SEPH.
  • an imager comprising a tube 300 light amplifier with proximity focusing equipped with a double microchannel wafer 330, 331 to obtain an electron / electron gain of the order of 105 and a fast phosphor screen (P47), a 400 CCD electronic camera, a low noise ( ⁇ 5 mV) wide bandwidth 710 voltage amplifier (of the order of 200 MHz) having a voltage gain of 100 , and an integrating linear door 714 sold by the company SEPH.
  • the imager previously described is designed to detect incident light photons.
  • the imager can however easily be adapted to detect other types of incident rays, such as for example ⁇ ⁇ rays by placing a system for converting these incident rays into light, such as a scintillator 200, upstream of the tube 300 , as shown in broken lines in Figure 7.
  • a system for converting these incident rays into light such as a scintillator 200, upstream of the tube 300 , as shown in broken lines in Figure 7.
