Definitions
- the invention relates to an optical device, in particular a scanning microscope, wherein an expanded laser beam is split into a plurality of partial beams by a plurality of microlenses arranged next to one another, the partial beams being focused with a common objective in each case at a focal point for the optical excitation of a sample and with one fluorescent light originating from the sample from the sample from behind the lens from the sample is registered.
- a branching of the beam path is provided, for example by a beam splitter, so that the fluorescent light originating from the sample is deflected laterally from the direction of the exciting laser beam to the photosensor.
- a scanning microscope in which several partial beams are formed from a widened laser beam, in which the partial beams are focused with a common objective in each case at a focal point for the optical excitation of a sample and in which the individual are arranged with a photosensor arranged behind the objective from the sample Fluorescence light originating from the sample is focussed on is known from US-Z Nature, Vol. 383, page 760.
- the pinhole is arranged in the beam path of the device in such a way that the fluorescent light from the sample must also pass through the pinhole if it is to reach the photosensor. It is therefore a confocal scanning microscope in which almost only fluorescent light from one plane of the sample is applied can get to the photosensor. This enables a three-dimensional resolution of the sample with respect to the fluorescent light intensities obtained.
- the pinhole of the known scanning microscope is a so-called Nipkow disk, in which the individual holes are arranged so that they evenly scan the sample when the Nipkow disk is rotated around its center. The Nipkow disk was originally developed for scanning images to obtain a telegraphable signal.
- a problem of the known scanning laser microscope is that the holes of the pinhole have to have a certain minimum distance in the lateral direction so that fluorescent light that comes from planes other than the plane of the sample to be viewed and that is not focused back onto the exit hole of the excitation radiation, holes not adjacent to the exit hole reach the photosensor.
- a large spacing of the holes in the pinhole means that the light output of the incident laser beam is essentially blocked out by the pinhole and is therefore lost.
- the laser light blocked by the pinhole reflects from the back of the pinhole onto the photosensor and can lead to a high subsoil there.
- a scanning microscope is known from US Pat. No. 5,034,613, in which fluorescent light from the sample is registered with the photosensor, which has only half the wavelength of the incident laser beam.
- the fluorescence of the sample is due to a so-called two-photon excitation.
- the probability of such a two-photon excitation is noticeably different from zero only in the core area of the respective focus point, in which the laser beam is focused for the optical excitation of the sample.
- this known scanning microscope has a significantly improved axial resolution even compared to confocal scanning microscopes.
- the yields of fluorescent light from the sample are relatively lower than with a confocal scanning microscope. This increases the measuring times that are required per sample point in order to obtain meaningful fluorescence light intensity data.
- the yield of fluorescent light from this focal point can be increased by increasing the light output of the laser beam.
- a scanning microscope is known from DE 40 40 441 A1, in which a laser beam is split and the two parts of the laser beam are brought into interference from opposite directions in a common focal point to excite a sample.
- a main maximum and two secondary axima of the light intensity form in the area of the common focus point of the two partial beams.
- the main maximum has a small axial extent and can be easily separated from the secondary maxima by a confocal arrangement, for example.
- the small axial extent of the main maximum means a very good axial resolution of this known scanning microscope.
- a scanning microscope of the type described at the outset is known from Bioimages 4 (2): 57-62, June 1996.
- the microlenses are arranged to form a microlens wheel, the expanded laser beam being split into a part of the microlenses into each of the partial beams, and the sample being scanned two-dimensionally by rotating the microlens wheel about its axis running parallel to the laser beam.
- An aperture wheel is arranged behind the microlens wheel and has an aperture for each microlens. Both the corresponding partial beam in the direction of the sample and the fluorescent light excited by this partial beam pass through the aperture in order to obtain a sufficient depth resolution in the known scanning microscope, which works with one-photon excitation .
- the relative arrangement and storage of the microlens wheel and the diaphragm wheel must be carried out extremely precisely in order to ensure the proper functioning of the known one Ensure scanning microscope.
- the microlenses in the known microlens wheel are not arranged next to one another in two dimensions but, like in a conventional Nipkow disk, in individual curved rows, the entire light intensity of the expanded laser beam is not used.
- the object of the invention is to further develop an optical device, that is to say in particular a scanning microscope, of the type described at the outset in such a way that a high light output of an expanded laser beam is made fully usable without great adjustment effort.
- this object is achieved in that in an optical device, i. H. in particular in a scanning microscope, of the type described at the outset, each photon of the fluorescent light coming from the sample and registered with the photosensor is excited by at least two photons from the laser beam. That , the new device works with a more photon excitation. Due to the more photon excitation, a sufficient depth resolution is achieved without the use of an aperture arrangement downstream of the microlenses and upstream of the photosensor.
- the invention is applicable to all scanning microscopes that use a more photon excitation to increase the axial resolution.
- the laser beam can also have laser radiation of different wavelengths, the wavelengths being in a different relationship to the wavelength of the fluorescent light coming from the sample than is indicated above.
- the wavelength of the fluorescent light is shorter than the shortest wavelength of the laser beam used for excitation.
- a scanning microscope according to the invention is characterized, for example, in that the wavelength of the laser beam is approximately twice as long as the wavelength of the sample coming fluorescence light registered with the photosensor. This corresponds to a two-photon excitation of the fluorescent light.
- Various filters can be used that completely separate the fluorescent light from the exciting laser radiation due to its different wavelength.
- the microlenses can directly adjoin one another, so that the laser beam is used over its entire width. At the same time, no laser light is then reflected back from the microlenses. Nevertheless, the individual partial beams behind the microlenses have a good separability of their beam paths.
- the partial beams are focused in the focal points of the microlenses. Point light sources are thus formed at the focal points of the microlenses. These point light sources are imaged with the lens in the plane of the sample to be viewed. The point light sources have a lateral distance which corresponds to the diameter of the microlenses used.
- the microlenses can have a uniform focal length and can be arranged in a plane running perpendicular to the laser beam. Then the focal points of the microlenses are also arranged in one plane and they are imaged in one plane of the sample. By splitting the laser beam with the microlenses into several partial beams, the scanning of the sample in this plane is accelerated compared to the use of only a single focal point in which the sample is excited.
- microlenses can also have different focal lengths and / or be arranged in parallel planes perpendicular to the laser beam.
- the focal points of the microlenses thus have different axial positions and are imaged in different planes of the samples.
- the multiple microlenses used in the invention are collectively referred to here as microlens arrays.
- Such a microlens array can be formed in one piece by blank pressing. It has a typical extension perpendicular to the laser beam of a few millimeters, for example 5 mm.
- the microlenses can be arranged next to one another in one direction. This is particularly useful if the laser beam has only been expanded in one direction by using two rod lenses. If the microlenses are arranged next to one another in only one direction, the focus points for excitation of the sample are also provided in this arrangement.
- the microlenses in the microlens array can be arranged next to one another in two directions.
- Such a two-dimensional microlens array typically has about 100 individual microlenses.
- the microlenses can be arranged to form a microlens wheel, the expanded laser beam being split into a part of the microlenses into the partial beams, and the sample being scanned in two or three dimensions by rotating the microlens wheel about its axis running parallel to the laser beam.
- the microlenses of the microlens wheel must have different focal lengths or be arranged at different distances from the sample.
- a scanning microscope In a scanning microscope according to the invention, it does not make sense to also guide the fluorescent light coming from the sample back through the microlens array in order to achieve a strictly confocal arrangement. Rather, the fluorescent light must first be deflected laterally out of the beam path and displayed on a photosensor. If this photosensor is a CCD array, an aperture can be activated by controlling the CCD array be simulated in front of the photosensor, so that a confocal structure of the scanning microscope is effectively achieved without, however, an adjustment effort as for a physical diaphragm arrangement.
- the microlens array according to the invention can also be used in a scanning microscope in which the axial resolution is increased by interference from laser radiation coming from two directions.
- the laser beam split into the partial beams with the microlenses is split using a beam splitter, and the split partial beams are brought to interference in the region of the sample from opposite directions.
- an interference maximum is formed, in which the optical excitation of the sample takes place in a concentrated manner.
- the new optical device is not only advantageous when it is designed as a scanning microscope. Rather, it can also be used as a test device for checking lenses or lens combinations which are introduced into the device as an objective.
- the sample then consists, for example, of a liquid to which a fluorescent substance with a defined, homogeneous concentration is added. Accordingly, there must be no change in the fluorescence light intensities registered with the photosensor when the lens moves relative to the microlens array if the lens or the lens combination is free of defects.
- FIG. 1 shows the structure of a first embodiment of an invented scanning microscope according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a detail of a second embodiment of the scanning microscope according to the invention, modified from FIG. 1,
- FIGS. 3-8 each show a basic sketch of different embodiments of the microlens array used in a scanning microscope according to the invention.
- FIGS. 9 and 10 are an enlarged detail of the scanning microscope according to FIGS. 9 and
- FIG. 11 shows a schematic diagram of a further embodiment of the microlens array used in a scanning microscope according to the invention.
- an expanded laser beam 2 which comes from a laser (not shown here) and a widening optics (also not shown), is split into individual partial beams 4 by a microlens array 3.
- the microlens array 3 consists of a plurality of microlenses 5 arranged next to one another, each focusing a partial beam 4 at its focal point 6.
- Each of the focal points 6 forms a point light source, which is imaged into a sample 8 with an objective 7.
- the illustration is illustrated using the beam paths 9 and 10 of the two outer partial beams 4.
- Each partial beam 4 is focused in a focal point 11, and in this focal point 11 the material of the sample is optically excited to fluoresce.
- the fluorescent light returns through the objective 7 via a semi-transparent deflecting mirror 12 to a photosensor 13.
- the beam paths from the two outer ones are also used to clarify the imaging of the focal points 11 on the photosensor 13
- Focal points 11 are shown and here designated 9 'and 10'.
- the images 14 of the focal points 11 on the photosensor 13 are at the same lateral distance from one another as the focal points 6 of the microlenses 5. With the microlenses 5, the entire laser beam 2 is used for the partial beams 4, so that at a predetermined light output of the laser beam 2 maximum optical excitation of the sample 8 is given in the focal points 11.
- the concentration of the fluorescent radiation on the area around the geometric focal points 11 is so great that it does not require any aperture in front of the photosensor 13, as is used in confocal scanning microscopes, in order to improve the axial resolution. If a pinhole is nevertheless simulated by software by the control of the photosensor 13, which is preferably a CCD array, the scanning microscope 1 according to FIG be used.
- the microlenses 5 of the microlens array 3 are arranged in one plane, and the microlenses 5 all have the same focal length, so that the focal points 6 are also arranged in a plane 17.
- the microlenses 5 of the microlens array 3 are arranged offset in the axial direction. Since they have the same focal length at the same time, the focal points 6 are axially offset in the same way as the microlenses 5.
- the focal points 6 are accordingly in different levels of Sample 8 shown.
- the sample 8 is optically excited in several planes lying one behind the other.
- Such excitation in several planes can also be implemented by different focal lengths of the microlenses 5 of the microlens array 3, as is outlined in FIG. 4.
- half of the microlenses 5 have a shorter focal length than the other half of the microlenses 5.
- the focal points 6 'of one half of the microlenses 5 lie in a different plane than the focal points 6 "of the other half of the microlenses 5.
- the sample 8 is thus optically excited in two planes lying parallel to one another.
- FIG. 5 shows a plan view of a microlens array 3, in which the individual microlenses 5 are arranged next to one another in only one direction perpendicular to the laser beam incident in the viewing direction.
- a microlens array 3 is matched to the expansion of a laser beam 2 in only one direction by means of rod lenses 18, as is sketched in FIG. 6.
- FIG. 7 and 8 show two exemplary embodiments of the microlens array 3, in which the individual microlenses are arranged next to one another in two directions. These microlens arrays 3 are matched to a two-dimensional expansion of the laser beam 2, the microlens array 3 according to FIG. 8 taking more account of the normally round cross section of a laser beam than the rectangular microlens array 3 according to FIG. 7.
- the expanded laser beam 2 is first split again into several partial beams by the microlens array 3.
- these partial beams are not shown in detail here. Rather, only one beam path 19 is shown, which is divided into two paths 21 and 22 following a beam splitter 20.
- the Partial beams are divided by deflecting mirrors 23 via paths 21 and 22 in two opposite directions
- the interference pattern outlined in FIG. 10 for two partial beams 4 results with a main maximum and two secondary maxima in the region of the focal point 11 shown.
- the main maximum 24 and the secondary maxima 25 lie in the direction of the optical axis 15 the lenses 7 so far apart that fluorescent light can be discriminated by a confocal arrangement of a photosensor in such a way that only fluorescent light from the area of the main maximum 24 is registered.
- this discrimination also arises automatically from the greatly different excitation probabilities in the main maximum 24 and the secondary maxima 25.
- the invention of splitting the laser beam 2 with a microlens array 3 from a multiplicity of individual microlenses 5 can accordingly be used in a wide variety of scanning microscopes. In any case, the entire light intensity of the incident laser beam 2 is fully utilized. This is particularly advantageous when observing more-photon excitations, because the probability of these excitations is fundamentally much less than that of one-photon excitations.
- the embodiment of the microlens array 3 according to FIG. 11 is provided for two- or three-dimensional scanning of a sample with the focal points of the individual partial beams of the laser spray 2.
- the microlenses 5 are arranged to form a microlens wheel 26, the expanded laser beam 2 being essentially completely split into the partial beams by a part of the microlenses 5 arranged next to one another in two dimensions, because only these microlenses 5 are illuminated.
- the microlenses 5 By rotating the microlens wheel 26 about its axis 27 running parallel to the laser beam, the microlenses 5 are moved relative to the sample and other lenses also become used to split the laser beam 2.
- the sample is scanned in two or three dimensions, depending on whether the microlenses 5 have a focal length and their focal points 6 according to FIG. 6 will lie in one plane or according to FIG. 3 or 4 have a depth distribution. If the frequency of scanning the sample with the microlens wheel 26 is sufficiently high, the fluorescent light coming from the sample can be viewed directly as an image of the sample at the location of the photosensor or via an additional eyepiece. It makes sense to use an IR filter to block out scattered excitation light.
- a scanning frequency which is by far sufficient for observation by the eye is achieved, for example, if the arrangement of the microlenses 5 to the microlens wheel 26 covers the entire sample five times per revolution of the microlens wheel and the microlens wheel 26 is rotated about its axis 27 at a frequency of 75 Hz.
- the direct observation of a sample with its multi-photon excitation in real time was not possible before the invention because of the very low fluorescent light yields per time in the prior art.
