Instrument for detection and observation. [Prior Art] In recent years, due to the development of monoclonal antibody technology and fluorescent dyes in biological research, combined with advances in cell culture methods, the development of flow cytometry has reached its peak, followed by It comes to a wide range of applications in various fields. In the 1990s, flow cytometry has penetrated into the fields of music science, biology, genomics, and clinical medicine. With flow cytometry, researchers can quickly detect surface antigens, intracellular antigens, and Transgenic gene expression, cell function, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis, apoptosis analysis, cell cycle analysis, cell activity analysis, free radical measurement, bacterial proliferation curve, etc. In addition, cells can be utilized The Cell sorting function sorts out specific target cells and re-uses special cells or bacterial particle populations for further culture or colonization. Therefore, flow cytometry is applied to immunology, microbiology, and cytology. An important instrument for various experiments. On the other hand, due to the rapid development of Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) technology derived from semiconductor process technology in recent years, there are many new breakthroughs in various fields, and its application ^ A variety of innovative process technology, can produce a variety of miniature components. And the introduction of the concept of MEMS into the field of medical analysis, derived from the micro-M290504 small and rapid woman, the ^ type biochemical equipment is reduced and integrated into a tiny bio-chip, which can effectively inject, react, separate, The detection and analysis steps are integrated into a microchip, and have the advantages of small size, low sample analysis requirements, fast response time, high frequency response, high detection accuracy, and the advantages of large batch manufacturing. Improve the sensitivity of measurement, reduce the consumption of biological reagents and the cost of the instrument, and then achieve the goal of the wafer laboratory (Lab_〇n_a_chip, L〇c). In large flow cytometry equipment, optical detection is commonly used to complete the measurement and analysis of the sample, while the cell sample flow (§&1111) 16 fl〇w) is firstly carried out by the side sheath flow (Sheath flow) The hydration dynamic focusing method is used to focus and analyze the size and type of the cells by the incident laser beam and the reflection and reflection phenomenon of the laser beam on the cells and biomolecule samples.

Flow cytometer 100, with a microfluid The wafer 900 is used. The microfluidic wafer 9 has a sample stream 91, a sheath flow 92 and a detection section 93. The sample stream 91 is located between the sheath streams 92, and the sample stream 91 is focused by using both sides. The hydrodynamics f0CUSing phenomenon is caused by the difference between the flow rate of the machine 92 and the sample stream 91. The hydraulic compression of the intermediate sample mouth "IL 91 by the side sheath flow 92 causes the width of the sample stream 91 to be detected. The segment 93 is reduced to a predetermined size, and the cell sample in the sample stream 9 被 can be squeezed by this principle and arranged in a line in the detection section 93. The flow cytometer 100 includes a housing 20, A control device 30, a oscillating device 40, a light source device 50, a detecting device 〇, and an image capturing device 70. The housing 20 has a rectangular shape and is open-ended, so that it has an accommodating space 21 A cover body 23 is pivotally connected to one side of the housing 20, a partition 25 is disposed between the accommodating space 21 and the cover body 23, and a sidewall of the accommodating space 21 is inserted through a wafer insertion slot 27. The other side wall of the adjacent one is correspondingly provided with a positioning guide 28, so the microfluidic crystal 900 can be inserted into the chip insertion slot 27, M290504, and the control device 30 is disposed under the partition 25 of the housing 20, and has a partition 25 disposed thereon. The first display 33 of the present embodiment is a conventional 16” 2-point matrix type LCD display for displaying the numerical data input by the keyboard 31. The oscillating device 40 is assembled and received. Within space 21, it is used to cooperate with microfluidic wafer 900 to drive sample stream 91 and both sheath streams 92 in microfluidic wafer 9A. Since the microfluidic wafer 900 of the present embodiment is a pneumatic micro-pull to achieve the purpose of driving the microfluid, the oscillating device 4 of the present embodiment has an air pressure source 41, a plurality of electromagnetic valves 43, and a plurality of tubes. Road 45, in the example of the air source 41 is a small cylinder containing a high-pressure gas, which can output a gas of a fixed pressure value, the line 45 is in communication with the air pressure source 41 'and each-line 45 With the solenoid valve 43, the electromagnetic reading 43 and the line 45 of the present embodiment are integrated, so that a plurality of solenoid valves 43 are not integrated into one box, and all of them are integrated into one box. Line 45 is integrated into a larger tube. The oscillating device 40 of the present embodiment further includes a gas pressure plate 47 pivotally connected to the housing 2 〇 spacer 25, and the air pressure plate 47 is pivotally disposed at the corresponding wafer insertion groove π and the positioning rail 28 45 extends to the air plate 47, and a cannula 451 is protruded from a surface of the air plate 47 facing the accommodating space 21, respectively, and the cannula 451 corresponds to a relative position on the microfluidic chip 9 。. In this embodiment, by adjusting the solenoid valve 43 to achieve the frequency of the control line 进气 intake, the sample stream 91 and the two M290504 in the microfluidic wafer are driven and the frequency of the switch is adjustable. In the frequency adjustment of the solenoid valve 43 of the present embodiment, the pitch is adjusted at a frequency of a multiple of 5, and the range is 5 Hz to 200 Hz.

And with a bandpass filter 511 (Band pass, BP) to block all other wavelengths of fluorescence to avoid the impact, this embodiment is a 530nm bandpass filter, theoretically only allowed to emit 530 nm green light Passing, while other wavelengths of light are all blocked, but the general bandpass filter is allowed to allow positive and negative 1 〇 nm range, so bandpass filters within the allowable range can be selected. Of course, other different wavelengths of laser and band pass filters may be used in other embodiments, and a suitable LED may be used instead of the laser source. The objective lens 55 of the present embodiment has ten times of optics and is disposed below the microfluidic wafer 900 detecting section 93. The first mirror 53 is a 585 nm long pass filter (Long pass, in this embodiment). LP), which only allows light having a wavelength greater than 585 nm to pass, and the emitted 525 nm green light is totally reflected.
