Description

基于共振振镜进行焦点调制的光学显微装置及方法 技术领域
本发明涉及光学技术领域,尤其涉及一种能够提高成像信噪比及分辨率的光学显微装置及显微方法。
背景技术
光学显微镜能够观察细胞和亚细胞结构,已成为生物组织成像技术中的重要工具。传统的宽场显微镜仅能观察表面的显微结构,共聚焦或者多光子成像技术能够结合荧光染料工作,具有优秀的光学层析能力,能够观察具有一定厚度的生物组织。
但此类荧光显微成像技术成像深度还有提高的空间。由于生物组织是非均匀的,入射光会被组织散射和吸收。随着探测深度的增加,激发光在焦点处的功率会发生指数衰减,使得信号减弱,同时由于在非焦点处的噪声增强,从而使得成像信噪比变差,特别是到达一定深度后,噪声超过信号强度,此时无法分辨信号和噪声。为了抑制在生物组织内散射光激发的背景荧光所带来的影响,已有相关文献和专利进行了相关技术的报导。文献《Two-photon focal modulation microscopy in turbid media》( Applied Physics Letters, 2011, 99(23):2151.)已经理论分析证明了,当对样品较深处进行成像时,从样品表面到焦点之间区域激发出的荧光可以认为是背景噪声。通过对焦点附近进行调制,然后解调可以抑制背景噪声,从而获得较大成像深度。专利《荧光焦点调制显微系统和方法》(CN101802675A)采用空间光调制器以预定频率周期性改变焦点周围相干激发光的空间分布,然后进行解调获得焦点处的荧光。《基于焦点调制的荧光显微系统及方法》(CN104568884A)将光束分为调制光和非调制光,使得两束光在焦点处发生干涉,通过纵向焦点调制增强显微系统的纵向分辨率和成像深度。《基于锁相放大的显微镜》(CN106932374A)在常规显微镜中加入光开关和锁相放大器进行信号放大和噪声滤除。然而,采用光开关或者类似的调制方法虽然改变了照射光强,但是也使得背景噪声同时随之发生变化,也就是说背景噪声和目标信号仍然混合在一起,不利于从探测得到的变化信号中还原出目标点的信号。
尽管现有技术已经做出了一些尝试,但是,以上这些技术都需要预加载设计好的调制信号,一般都采用调制器对聚焦光束进行调制,并通过计算解调得出焦点处信号。如此,现有技术中的系统运行相对复杂,这也直接导致其无法做到很快的采集速度,比如在对小鼠大脑皮层较深处神经元活动进行监测时,神经放电过程在毫秒级别,在较低的成像速度下难以捕捉到这个过程。因而,现有技术中相对复杂且慢速的信号采集直接影响了显微镜的适用范围。
技术解决方案
有鉴于此,为了克服上述现有技术的缺陷,本发明通过高速的共振振镜对焦点及其附近进行扫描,将共振振镜时钟信号与锁相放大器的参考信号相关联,能够探测出淹没在噪声中的焦点信号,实现分辨率的增强和成像深度的提高,具有实现方法简单,采集速度快的优点。

进一步,所述共振振镜的扫描速度优选为4kHz,8kHz或者12kHz,从而保证成像速度。

本发明的实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
本发明基于共振振镜扫描进行焦点调制的光学显微装置可以用于多种不同的成像仪器或成像系统中,例如共聚焦显微镜、单光子或多光子显微镜等。具体通过共振振镜来实现焦点位置在小范围内的高速扫描以达到对焦点调制的目的,同时采用锁相放大器探测出焦点处的光信号,提高光学显微装置的信噪比、分辨率及成像深度。
图1为本发明实施例的基于共振振镜扫描进行焦点调制的光学显微装置的结构示意图。光学显微装置包括光源组件101、共振振镜102、聚焦组件103、光电检测组件104及锁相放大器105。
本发明实施例中,光源组件101用来产生照射至样品目标区域的入射光束。例如光源组件101可以优选包括激光器,产生的入射光束是准直性较佳的平行激光光束,还可以是经过扩束/或者分光处理的光束。因而光源组件101还可以包括配合激光器使用的准直透镜、扩束镜、分光镜,或者实现光束准直、扩束、分光等效果的其它光学器件。所发出的激光根据不同的应用场景既可以是连续的激光,也可以是脉冲激光。激光光束具有较高的能量,能在样品目标区域激发荧光或其他激发光。
聚焦组件103将光源组件101产生的入射光聚焦在样品的目标区域中。聚焦组件103例如可以包括扫描元件、扫描透镜、套筒透镜、成像物镜及载物台。其中各个透镜用于对入射光进行整形、聚焦,扫描元件可以包含x方向振镜、y方向振镜,相应地,载物台可以为能够沿z轴方向移动的位移台,因此,控制扫描元件和载物台的配合,能够实现将入射光聚焦到样品的任意位置。可替换地,载物台也可以是自身能够在x、y、z三个方向进行位移的载物台,或者可以是能实现三维扫描的微机电系统,也可以是前面提到的扫描方式的多种组合。
图2表示通过聚焦组件103实现焦点扫描的示意图。首先,聚焦组件103控制焦点沿着x方向扫描,当x方向逐点扫描完一行之后,将焦点沿与x方向相垂直的y方向移动到下一个位置,例如焦点位置的y轴坐标从图中的y1移动到y2,然后在x方向又继续进行一行扫描。如此循环,直到将一个平面完全扫描出来。在此,根据扫描的进度,将x方向定义为快扫方向,y方向定义为慢扫方向。
与现有技术不同,本发明的光学显微装置中还设置有共振振镜102,其用来改变聚焦到样品目标区域的焦点的位置。具体地,共振振镜102可以设置在聚焦组件103的上游以通过改变光源组件101发出的入射光的方式来改变焦点位置。可选地,共振振镜102也可以设置在聚焦组件103的下游,以通过改变聚焦组件103聚焦后的光束的方式来改变焦点位置。相对于现有技术中最高扫描速度仅能达到1kHz的MEMS器件或者检流计振镜,共振振镜102具有更高的扫描速度,这将有助于提升装置整体的信号采集速度。相对于现有技术中的扫描速度较快的压电陶瓷器件,共振振镜102具有更大的形变量,能够满足对焦点位置的调制要求。此外,虽然数字微镜阵列刷新的速度较快,但是其微镜一般只有三个状态,无法实现在焦点处的小范围连续扫描,因而无法保证一定扫描到目标点,也难以还原出目标点附近的调制强度曲线,从而对成像产生影响。
对于本实施例的共振振镜102来说,可以以固定的频率进行高速扫描,例如扫描频率为4kHz、8kHz或者12kHz,其具有远高于聚焦组件103的扫描速度。从而在聚焦组件103于样品的目标区域形成焦点后,高速地在该焦点位置及其附近的小范围内改变焦点在样品中的位置,实现对焦点的调制。此外,在对焦点位置的调制过程中,共振振镜102的扫描范围也远小于聚焦组件103的扫描范围。实际上,只有当扫描速度足够快速,且配合有适当的扫描范围时才不会对高速成像产生影响,这一点现有常见的空间光调制器是难以达到的。
在本实施例中,以共振振镜102设置在聚焦组件103上游为例进行说明。具体地,由于共振振镜102的加入,导致物镜的焦点位置能够在目标区域小范围内快速发生改变,图3示意了这一过程,图3a为入射光经过聚焦组件103后聚焦到样品中较深处的特定位置,也就是焦点本来的位置,由于样品的散射,在较深位置处,理想焦点附近都被照明,有用的信号被淹没在噪声中,因而以方形示出;图3b为通过共振振镜102的扫描,使得该焦点位置在一个小范围内变化,即本来焦点位置处的以方形示意的特定形式的光场会在所述的小范围里不停高速地变化位置,图中仅示例了额外的两个位置,但扫描可以是在多个位置之间连续的。位置高速变化的焦点处光场在短时间内的叠加形成一个小体积范围内光场的变化,这个变化即体现了对入射光焦点的调制,或者说利用焦点位置的变化形成一个焦点周围特定体积范围内光场的调制。共振振镜102可以采用外部时钟进行触发,也可以采用内部时钟进行触发。当共振振镜102使用内部时钟触发时可以实现持续扫描,其时钟频率可以作为电信号输出并被探测到。共振振镜102也可以使用后文提及的锁相放大器105输出的驱动信号作为触发信号,此时共振振镜102的重复周期受锁相放大器105的驱动信号限制。无论采用哪种方式,重要的是共振振镜102的时钟信号与下文所述的锁相放大器105进行关联。
光电检测组件104接收样品目标区域受聚焦且经共振振镜102扫描后的入射光束照射而产生的光信号,例如荧光信号等,并将该光信号转换为电信号,一个例子是使用光电倍增管,此外还可以选用雪崩二极管或者sCMOS相机等。为了更好地收集光信号,光电检测组件104还可以包括滤光片、聚焦透镜等元器件。
锁相放大器105收集光电检测组件104的电信号,并且锁相放大器105的参考信号与共振振镜102的时钟信号相关联,从而输出焦点处的电信号。通过将光电检测组件104得到的电信号与共振振镜102的时钟信号进行运算,锁相放大器输出的信号即为滤除了背景噪声的焦点处信号。锁相放大器的运行主要基于互相关方法的微弱信号检测技术,利用与待测信号具有相同频率和固定相位关系的参考信号为基准,滤除与参考频率不同的噪声,从而提取出有用的信号组分。由于锁相放大器在测量输入信号时,需要提供参考信号,因此,锁相放大器的参考信号可由外部提供,也可由内部提供,故锁相放大器分为内部参考和外部参考方式。内部参考方式主要是由锁相放大器内部的信号发生器产生的信号作为参考信号,同时,该产生的信号也是提供给外部器件的驱动信号。外部参考信号是外部提供的周期性信号。对于共振振镜102来说,其只能以特定频率进行扫描,无法进行速度控制,其外部触发信号只能触发其何时开始扫描,而不能控制其单次扫描的周期。
基于共振振镜的这个特性,锁相放大器105可以有两种工作方式:
(1)将共振振镜102的时钟信号作为锁相放大器105的外部参考信号R1,参考图4a所示,上方为目标信号S1和背景噪声N1,真实的目标信号与共振振镜102的时钟信号同步,此时待测目标信号与锁相放大器105的参考信号相位差为0;
(2)当共振振镜102的时钟信号不方便输出时,需要将锁相放大器105提供周期性信号作为共振振镜102的触发信号,由于共振振镜102的扫描频率固定,使用比其频率更高的触发信号无法实现更高的采集速度,而且无法保证相位差的稳定性,因而此时提供的触发信号频率应不高于共振振镜102的扫描频率。一般以触发信号的上升沿或下降沿触发共振振镜开始扫描,如图4b所示,选取上升沿作为触发信号,相位差为共振振镜102扫到目标点时对应的待测信号S2和锁相放大器内部参考信号R2之间的相位差Δφ2。由于触发信号的频率低于共振振镜的固有频率,共振振镜结束扫描后还没等到另一个触发信号,因此目标信号存在中断,与图4a中连续信号不同。在背景信号N2基本不变,已知参考信号R2、待测信号S2的频率与相位差的情况下,根据锁相放大器102输出的信号,本领域技术人员按照惯用手段能够还原出目标信号。
图5为本发明的基于振镜扫描调制的光学显微装置的光路示意图。如图5所示,光源组件101出射的光束,例如平行激光光束,入射到共振振镜102上,共振振镜102能够以高速小范围扫描。在本实施例中,为了产生目标点明暗对比的调制变化,扫描的范围优选为快扫方向分辨率的3倍-5倍之间。快扫分辨率为最终采集到的图像对应的快扫方向分辨率,该扫描范围不宜过大,否则在调制过程中大部分时间内目标点的信号强度都为0,如此则会导致采集数据量的增加以及无效的调制。进一步,考虑到在相邻两个目标点间进行扫描,靠的太近的目标点可能会产生干扰,因此优选地,共振振镜102的扫描方向与快扫方向垂直。
经过共振振镜102的光束照射到聚焦组件103中。具体地,聚焦组件103例如包括扫描振镜1031、扫描透镜1032、套筒透镜1033、二向色镜1034、成像物镜1035和载物台1036。经过共振振镜102的入射光束经过扫描振镜1031,反射进入扫描透镜1032和套筒透镜1033扩束。之后穿过二向色镜1034由成像物镜1035最终聚焦至样品目标区域上,样品放置于载物台1036上。
样品被入射光照射的目标区域产生的光信号,例如荧光,经由成像物镜1035收集后,经过二向色镜1034反射至光电检测组件104。在本实施例中,光电检测组件104可以包括滤光片1041,其能够将环境背景光和激发光滤除而使信号光,例如荧光信号通过。随后,光信号经由聚焦透镜1042会聚到光电倍增管1043中,光电倍增管1043将收集到的光信号转换为电信号,该电信号也能够传输到锁相放大器105中从而被接收。
以锁相放大器105使用外部参考信号为例,锁相放大器105同时还采集共振振镜102的时钟信号,通过将光电检测组件104得到的电信号与共振振镜102的时钟信号进行运算,锁相放大器105输出的信号即为滤除了背景噪声的焦点处信号。通过采集卡采集,传输至电脑106储存显示后即可得到高分辨率高信噪比的焦点处图像。
共振振镜102以特定的频率进行振动,例如4 kHz,8 kHz或者12 kHz,当通过共振振镜102对目标点附近进行快速扫描时,目标点的光强度随着焦点位置的变化产生强弱变化,尽管仍然淹没在噪声中,但是这样的变化与共振振镜102的时钟信号同步,根据共振振镜102时钟信号与锁相放大器105参考信号的相位差,锁相放大器105可以直接读出目标点的荧光强度。
在具体使用本发明的光学显微装置时,对于样品表面处,其信号强度没有淹没在噪声中时,不用使用共振振镜102进行扫描调制。当对样品较深位置处噪声较大时才开始使用共振振镜102对焦点位置进行调制。进一步利用上述光学显微系统进行焦点调制的方法还包括如下步骤:
S1、产生用于照射样品目标区域的光束;
S2、采用聚焦组件实现对样品目标区域聚焦扫描;
S3、通过共振振镜高速且小范围扫描,对样品目标区域的焦点产生调制;
S4、接收样品目标区域产生的光信号,并将光信号转换为电信号;
S5、将电信号和共振振镜的时钟信号接入锁相放大器,共振振镜的时钟信号作为锁相放大器的参考信号,锁相放大器输出焦点处的光信号。
本发明相比于现有技术中的其他调制方案的优势在于不需要复杂的调制信号,无需计算即可获得焦点处的信号。常见的调制器件如数字微镜阵列和空间光调制器,都需要加载复杂的调制图案,而且需要多次改变图案,对于得到的数据还需要经过耗时的计算才能还原出焦点位置的信号,这都非常不利于快速成像。而本发明可以采用共振振镜时钟信号作为参考信号,也可以使用锁相放大器提供触发信号和参考信号,仅需简单的扫描即可实现焦点处的调制,并且锁相放大器能直接输出焦点处的信号值,能够方便地探测出淹没在噪声中的焦点信号,实现分辨率的增强和成像深度的提高,具有实现方法简单,采集速度快的优点。
对所公开的实施例的上述说明,使本领域专业技术人员能够实现或使用本申请。对这些实施例的多种修改对本领域的专业技术人员来说将是显而易见的,本文中所定义的一般原理可以在不脱离本申请的精神或范围的情况下,在其它实施例中实现。因此,本申请将不会被限制于本文所示的这些实施例,而是要符合与本文所公开的原理和新颖特点相一致的最宽的范围。
