Abstract

The invention discloses a scanning imaging system for weak light signals. The imaging system comprises a line scanning module and a light spot shaping module. The line scanning module comprises a line detector and an imaging lens. The light spot shaping module successively comprises a beam expanding unit and a beam compressing unit according to an optical path direction; a collimation light beam forms elliptical light spots through the light spot shaping module for illuminating a sample; and the sample generates light signals, the light signals, after being focused by an imaging lens of the line scanning module, are acquired by the line detector of the line scanning module for imaging, the sample and the line detector 1 move relative to each other for scanning, the scanning direction of the line detector is vertical to the long axes of the elliptical light spots, the long axes of the elliptical light spots are greater than the length of an imaging area of the line detector, and the ratio of the short axes of the elliptical light spots to the width of the imaging area of the line detector ranges from 0.8 to 1.5. The scanning imaging system for the weak light signals improves the illumination efficiency and solves the technical problems of quite weak signals and not high imaging speed during imaging of the line detector.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of weak signal imaging, and more specifically relates to a scanning imaging system for weak light signals. Background technique [0002] Weak signal imaging is a frequently encountered imaging problem. Imaging weaker signals requires longer exposure times, limiting imaging speed. If high-speed imaging is performed on a signal with strong intensity, the collected signal will be relatively weak because the exposure time is very short. In industrial and other application fields, high-speed and low-light scanning imaging have a very wide demand, and higher imaging speed means higher product inspection efficiency. In the field of scientific research, especially in situations where high temporal resolution imaging is required or a large number of sample images need to be obtained, high-speed scanning imaging is necessary. [0003] Scanning imaging is a very important high-speed imaging method, including point scanning im...
