Abstract

Un procédé d'imagerie à super-résolution de différence de fluorescence et un système d'imagerie. Par le réglage de la position d'un réflecteur d'angle dans un système, le trajet optique de propagation d'un faisceau laser à impulsions gaussiennes dans un premier trajet de lumière est prolongé ou raccourci, et le faisceau laser à impulsions gaussiennes est converti en un laser à impulsions annulaires, et est ensuite focalisé et expose un échantillon, et l'autre faisceau laser à impulsions gaussiennes se propage le long d'un second trajet de lumière, et est focalisé et expose l'échantillon, l'intervalle d'impulsion entre le laser à impulsions annulaires et le laser à impulsions gaussiennes, qui exposent l'échantillon, étant supérieur à la durée de vie de fluorescence du colorant fluorescent ; un signal d'impulsion de lumière d'excitation et un signal de fluorescence sont respectivement collectés au moyen de deux détecteurs ; une première image et une seconde image sont séparées du signal de fluorescence ; et la première image et la seconde image sont soumises à un traitement d'analyse conformément à une règle de traitement d'image, de façon à obtenir une image à super-résolution cible, dont la résolution est encore améliorée. Grâce au procédé, l'endommagement d'un échantillon biologique est réduit à l'aide d'un laser à impulsions de faible puissance, et le problème d'une réduction de la qualité d'une image à super-résolution provoquée par une désadaptation de pixels pendant une imagerie à super-résolution de différence de fluorescence classique est résolu.
