為了使得本發明的目的、技術方案和優點更為明顯,下面將參照附圖詳細描述根據本發明的示例實施例。顯然,所描述的實施例僅僅是本發明的一部分實施例,而不是本發明的全部實施例,應理解,本發明不受這裡描述的示例實施例的限制。基於本發明中描述的本發明實施例,本領域技術人員在沒有付出創造性勞動的情況下所得到的所有其它實施例都應落入本發明的保護範圍之內。In order to make the objects, the technical solutions and the advantages of the present invention more apparent, the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is apparent that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention described herein without departing from the scope of the invention are intended to fall within the scope of the invention.

圖1示意性地示出了根據本發明一個實施例的快速組織分子光譜成像裝置100的框圖。該快速組織分子光譜成像裝置100包括光發射單元110、轉向單元120、掃描單元130和探測單元160。該快速組織分子光譜成像裝置100可廣泛應用於消化道、呼吸道等各個部位的組織分子成像,實現腫瘤的早期診斷。FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a block diagram of a rapid tissue molecular spectral imaging apparatus 100 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. The fast tissue molecular spectral imaging apparatus 100 includes a light emitting unit 110, a steering unit 120, a scanning unit 130, and a detecting unit 160. The rapid tissue molecular spectroscopic imaging apparatus 100 can be widely applied to tissue molecular imaging of various parts such as the digestive tract and the respiratory tract to realize early diagnosis of the tumor.

光發射單元110用於發射線光束。在一個實施例中,如圖2-3所示,光發射單元110可以包括光源112和擴束線聚焦器114。光源112用於發射准直光束。光源112可以為發射特定波長的准直鐳射的雷射器。所述特定波長範圍可以為20nm-2000nm。該波長範圍內的鐳射可以激發大範圍的螢光體。光源112可以為量子阱雷射器、固態雷射器、氣體雷射器(例如氬離子雷射器)或者鐳射二極體。擴束線聚焦器114設置在光源112的出口,用於將光源112發出的准直光束擴束並一維聚焦為線光束。擴束線聚焦器114可以包括擴束透鏡和柱透鏡。擴束透鏡可以包括兩個L1、L2,兩個擴束透鏡L1、L2配合將光源112發出的准直光束進行擴束,以改變准直光束的直徑。柱透鏡包括L3,其將擴束後的光束一維聚焦為線光束並傳導至轉向單元120。The light emitting unit 110 is for emitting a line beam. In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2-3, the light emitting unit 110 can include a light source 112 and a beam expander focus concentrator 114. Light source 112 is used to emit a collimated beam of light. Light source 112 can be a collimator that emits a collimated laser of a particular wavelength. The specific wavelength range may be from 20 nm to 2000 nm. Lasers in this wavelength range can excite a wide range of phosphors. Light source 112 can be a quantum well laser, a solid state laser, a gas laser (such as an argon ion laser), or a laser diode. A beam expander focus concentrator 114 is disposed at the exit of the light source 112 for expanding the collimated beam of light from the source 112 and focusing it in one dimension into a line beam. The beam expander focus concentrator 114 can include a beam expander lens and a cylindrical lens. The beam expander lens may include two L1, L2, and the two beam expanders L1, L2 cooperate to expand the collimated beam emitted by the light source 112 to change the diameter of the collimated beam. The cylindrical lens includes L3 that focuses the expanded beam into a line beam and conducts it to the steering unit 120.

轉向單元120位於光發射單元110的下游,用於轉向光發射單元110發射的線光束,並且能夠使樣品的螢光透射。在圖1-3中,實線用於表示光發射單元110發出的線光束,虛線用於表示樣品受激發出的螢光。轉向單元120用於分離光發射單元110發出的光和樣品激發產生的螢光。轉向單元120對螢光的透射率可以達到90%以上,而對於其他波長的光基本上全部反射。於是,光發射單元110發出的線光束在經過轉向單元120被反射到掃描單元130。沿與線光束相同的光路返回的螢光在經過轉向單元120時幾乎全部透射,並傳導至探測單元160。滿足上述條件的轉向單元120可以為二向色鏡。優選地,該二向色鏡的波長範圍可以在40nm-2200nm波長範圍內。The steering unit 120 is located downstream of the light emitting unit 110 for turning to the line beam emitted by the light emitting unit 110 and capable of transmitting the fluorescent light of the sample. In Figures 1-3, the solid line is used to indicate the line beam emitted by the light emitting unit 110, and the dashed line is used to indicate that the sample is excited by the fluorescent light. The steering unit 120 is for separating the light emitted by the light emitting unit 110 and the fluorescent light generated by the sample excitation. The transmittance of the diverting unit 120 to the fluorescent light can reach 90% or more, and substantially all of the light of the other wavelengths is reflected. Then, the line beam emitted from the light emitting unit 110 is reflected to the scanning unit 130 through the steering unit 120. The fluorescent light returned along the same optical path as the line beam is transmitted almost entirely through the steering unit 120 and conducted to the detecting unit 160. The steering unit 120 that satisfies the above conditions may be a dichroic mirror. Preferably, the dichroic mirror may have a wavelength in the wavelength range of 40 nm to 2200 nm.

掃描單元130位於轉向單元120的下游,對轉向的線光束進行一維擺掃,用於調整轉向的線光束的方向以逐行掃描樣品。具體地,線光束可以為例如沿X方向延伸的線光束,掃描單元130將該線光束轉向到下游的光學部件(例如中繼單元140),同時進行Y方向掃描。Y方向與X方向成一定角度,例如成90度的直角。掃描單元130主要進行Y方向的一維掃描。這樣,與X方向的線光束配合進行一次一維方向上的掃描就可以形成整幅圖像。由此可見,採用線光束結合探測單元160可以逐行成像,因此相比于現有的逐點成像,成像速度得以大幅提高。由於僅進行一維方向上的擺掃,掃描單元130可以為單個的掃描振鏡。掃描振鏡的頻率可以在10-2000KHz的頻率範圍內。單個掃描振鏡的使用可以大幅降低噪音,並且精簡裝置的組成和控制的複雜度,提高了整機穩定性,同時降低了製造成本和維護成本。此外,掃描單元130也可以為空間光調製器。空間光調製器相比於掃描振鏡來說,成本相對較高。The scanning unit 130 is located downstream of the steering unit 120 and performs a one-dimensional sweep of the steered line beam for adjusting the direction of the steered line beam to scan the sample line by line. Specifically, the line beam may be, for example, a line beam extending in the X direction, and the scanning unit 130 diverts the line beam to a downstream optical component (for example, the relay unit 140) while performing Y-direction scanning. The Y direction is at an angle to the X direction, for example at a right angle of 90 degrees. The scanning unit 130 mainly performs one-dimensional scanning in the Y direction. Thus, the entire image can be formed by performing a one-dimensional scanning with the line beam in the X direction. It can be seen that the line beam combining detection unit 160 can image line by line, so the imaging speed is greatly improved compared to the existing point-by-point imaging. Since only the sweep in the one-dimensional direction is performed, the scanning unit 130 may be a single scanning galvanometer. The frequency of the scanning galvanometer can be in the frequency range of 10-2000 kHz. The use of a single scanning galvanometer can greatly reduce noise, and the complexity of the composition and control of the device improves the stability of the whole machine while reducing manufacturing costs and maintenance costs. Further, the scanning unit 130 can also be a spatial light modulator. Spatial light modulators are relatively expensive compared to scanning galvanometers.

該快速組織分子光譜成像裝置100還包括設置在掃描單元130下游的中繼單元140和內視單元150。圖2-3示出了根據本發明一個具體實施例的快速組織分子光譜成像裝置200的光路圖和框圖。在圖2-3中與圖1相同或相似的部件採用了相同的附圖標記。下面將參照圖2-3詳細地描述根據本發明的具體實施例中的中繼單元140、內視單元150以及探測單元160的具體實現方式。The fast tissue molecular spectral imaging apparatus 100 further includes a relay unit 140 and an internal view unit 150 disposed downstream of the scanning unit 130. 2-3 illustrate optical path diagrams and block diagrams of a fast tissue molecular spectral imaging apparatus 200 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

切換控制單元166用於對線陣探測單元162和光譜探測單元164進行切換選擇,以選擇性地獲取空間圖像或光譜資訊。切換控制單元166例如對螢光的傳輸路徑進行選擇性地切換,使螢光進入線陣探測單元162或光譜探測單元164。示例性地,切換控制單元166可以為反光鏡、數位微鏡裝置(Digital Micromirror Device,簡稱DMD)或空間光調製器。其中,數位微鏡裝置可以通過控制通斷,實現光路的投射或反射。圖3中示意性地示出了使用數位微鏡裝置作為切換控制單元166的實施例。使用時,首先控制切換控制單元166導通使螢光透射,由線陣探測單元162進行空間成像,尋找到目的地區域(例如腫瘤);然後在期望對該目的地區域進行具體分析時,控制切換控制單元166阻斷,將螢光反射至光譜探測單元164,由光譜探測單元164獲取該目的地區域的光譜資訊。對於切換控制單元166採用反光鏡或空間光調製器的情況,本領域的技術人員可以根據本申請公開的原理對光路進行變型。The switching control unit 166 is configured to perform switching selection between the line array detecting unit 162 and the spectrum detecting unit 164 to selectively acquire spatial images or spectral information. The switching control unit 166 selectively switches the transmission path of the fluorescent light, for example, to cause the fluorescent light to enter the line array detecting unit 162 or the spectrum detecting unit 164. Illustratively, the switching control unit 166 may be a mirror, a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) or a spatial light modulator.

An embodiment using a digital micromirror device as the switching control unit 166 is schematically illustrated in FIG. In use, first, the switching control unit 166 is turned on to transmit the fluorescent light, and the linear array detecting unit 162 performs spatial imaging to find a destination area (for example, a tumor); then, when it is desired to perform specific analysis on the destination area, the switching is controlled. The control unit 166 blocks, reflects the fluorescence to the spectrum detecting unit 164, and acquires the spectral information of the destination area by the spectrum detecting unit 164. For the case where the switching control unit 166 employs a mirror or a spatial light modulator, those skilled in the art can modify the optical path in accordance with the principles disclosed herein.

在一個優選實施例(例如圖2-3所示的實施例)中,光譜探測單元164為光譜相機。光譜相機可以為現有的或未來可能出現的各種類型的光譜相機,例如,美國瑞桑南(RESONON)公司的Pika L型光譜相機、和芬蘭斯佰瑟姆(Specim)公司的FX10型光譜相機等,只要能夠根據採集到的螢光形成樣品的光譜資訊即可。優選地,該探測單元160還包括第二聚焦透鏡L7,第二聚焦透鏡L7設置在光譜探測單元164與切換控制單元166之間,如圖3所示,用於將樣品發出的螢光聚焦到光譜探測單元164,以獲取更加可靠的光譜資訊。In a preferred embodiment (such as the embodiment shown in Figures 2-3), spectral detection unit 164 is a spectroscopic camera. Spectral cameras can be any type of spectroscopic camera that may or may not be present in the future, such as the Pika L-type spectroscopic camera from RESONON, USA, and the FX10 spectroscopic camera from Specim, Finland. As long as the spectral information of the sample can be formed according to the collected fluorescence. Preferably, the detecting unit 160 further includes a second focusing lens L7 disposed between the spectrum detecting unit 164 and the switching control unit 166, as shown in FIG. 3, for focusing the fluorescent light emitted from the sample to Spectral detection unit 164 to obtain more reliable spectral information.

The spectral detection unit 164 may include prism-grating-prisms arranged in sequence (Prisim-Grating- Prism) , abbreviated as PGP) 164a, a converging lens 164b, and an area array detector 164c. When switching to the spectral function by the switching control unit 166, the PGP prism 164a is used to perform dispersion splitting of the fluorescent light transmitted by the steering unit 120. The condenser lens 164b is for focusing the dispersion-separated fluorescent light onto the photosensitive surface of the area lens camera 166. The number of converging lenses 164b is related to the number of channels of the obtained spectrum, that is, more spectral images of more channels are desired, and more converging lenses are used. The area array detector 164c is used to form spectral information of the sample. The area array detector 166 can be various types of area array cameras, such as a CCD area array camera or a CMOS area array camera.

進一步優選地,如圖5所示,檢測光路上,探測單元160優選地還包括第二聚焦透鏡L7和准直透鏡L8,它們在切換控制單元166與光譜探測單元164之間,沿著光路方向依次設置,如圖4-5所示。第二聚焦透鏡L7用於將樣品發出的螢光聚焦。聚焦後的線光束照亮樣品發出的螢光被接收,通過掃描單元130的轉向和掃描,樣品的所有行發出的螢光最終都被探測單元160接收,並按照掃描的軌跡排列成光譜立方體資料,進而可快速獲得組織的光譜資訊。准直透鏡L8用於對聚焦後的螢光進行准直。可選地,在第二聚焦透鏡L7和准直透鏡L8之間可以設置有狹縫(未示出),狹縫用於僅允許聚焦平面的螢光通過。狹縫的尺寸可以在幾十納米到幾十毫米的範圍內。狹縫的存在使得聚焦平面外的雜散光被阻擋掉。可選地,探測單元160還可以包括濾光器。濾光器(未示出)設置在第二聚焦透鏡L7下游,即在第二聚焦透鏡L7和准直透鏡L8之間,用於濾除雜散光。在有狹縫的實施例中,濾光器可以設置在第二聚焦透鏡L7和狹縫之間。Further preferably, as shown in FIG. 5, the detecting optical path 160 preferably further includes a second focusing lens L7 and a collimating lens L8 between the switching control unit 166 and the spectrum detecting unit 164 along the optical path direction. Set them in sequence, as shown in Figure 4-5. The second focus lens L7 is used to focus the fluorescence emitted by the sample. The focused line beam illuminates the fluorescence emitted by the sample to be received. Through the steering and scanning of the scanning unit 130, the fluorescence emitted by all the rows of the sample is finally received by the detecting unit 160, and arranged into spectral cube data according to the scanning trajectory. In order to quickly obtain the spectral information of the organization. The collimating lens L8 is used to collimate the focused fluorescent light. Alternatively, a slit (not shown) may be provided between the second focus lens L7 and the collimator lens L8 for allowing only the fluorescence of the focus plane to pass. The size of the slit may range from several tens of nanometers to several tens of millimeters. The presence of the slits causes stray light outside the focus plane to be blocked. Optionally, the detecting unit 160 may further include a filter. A filter (not shown) is disposed downstream of the second focus lens L7, that is, between the second focus lens L7 and the collimator lens L8 for filtering out stray light. In the embodiment having a slit, a filter may be disposed between the second focus lens L7 and the slit.

概括地說,光源112發出的准直光束,經擴束線聚焦器114擴束並一維彙聚成線光束,轉向單元120將線光束折轉,掃描單元130將線光束通過中繼單元140耦合進入內視單元150並進行一維掃描,內視單元150將雷射光束傳導至樣品,激發出螢光並傳遞回探測單元160形成空間圖像和光譜資訊。In summary, the collimated beam emitted by the light source 112 is expanded by the beam expander concentrator 114 and concentrated into a line beam in one dimension, the steering unit 120 folds the line beam, and the scanning unit 130 couples the line beam through the relay unit 140. Entering the interior view unit 150 and performing a one-dimensional scan, the interior view unit 150 conducts the laser beam to the sample, excites the fluorescence and passes it back to the detection unit 160 to form a spatial image and spectral information.

示例性地,探測單元採集到的資料可以發送至電腦,由電腦接收並處理。此外,該電腦還可以對掃描單元(例如振鏡的頻率等)、探測單元的曝光和增益、以及光發射單元的發射功率等進行控制。Illustratively, the data collected by the detection unit can be sent to a computer for reception and processing by the computer. In addition, the computer can also control the scanning unit (such as the frequency of the galvanometer, etc.), the exposure and gain of the detecting unit, and the transmitting power of the light emitting unit.

該快速組織分子光譜成像裝置100採用線光源對樣品進行激發,採用一維掃描單元130(例如單個掃描振鏡)對線光束進行掃描,並使用探測單元160對樣品激發光探測,在一維方向實現共聚焦。由於採用線光束與探測單元160相結合來獲得組織分子的空間圖像和光譜資訊,不但可以大大提高組織分子的成像速度,可實現即時成像,還可以通過光譜資訊輔助分析組織情況(例如用於腫瘤分析)。由於掃描單元130僅進行一維掃描,因此可以有效提高系統的穩定性。The fast tissue molecular spectroscopic imaging apparatus 100 uses a line source to excite the sample, scans the line beam with a one-dimensional scanning unit 130 (for example, a single scanning galvanometer), and uses the detecting unit 160 to detect the sample excitation light in a one-dimensional direction. Achieve confocal. Since the linear beam and the detecting unit 160 are combined to obtain the spatial image and spectral information of the tissue molecules, the imaging speed of the tissue molecules can be greatly improved, real-time imaging can be realized, and the tissue condition can be assisted by spectral information (for example, for Tumor analysis). Since the scanning unit 130 performs only one-dimensional scanning, the stability of the system can be effectively improved.
