LED array based microchannel rotation cell phase contrast imaging method and system

Abstract

The invention discloses an LED array based microchannel rotation cell phase contrast imaging method and system. The system sequentially comprises, along the light path transmission direction, an LED array, a microchannel, a microscope, a Cmos camera acquisition module, a rotation cell feature extraction and recognition module, a cell rotation measurement module, a cell blur removal module, an image cell rotation correction module and a rotation cell phase contrast imaging module. Phase contrast imaging is the most effective method for imaging transparent samples and can obtain details of contours of the sample that are invisible on normal intensity imaging; with the method, blurring caused by rapid movement of cells within the one exposure time in the microchannel can be removed. In the method, LED is used as an asymmetric light source to analyze and study phase contrast imaging of the rotation cell imaging in the microchannel, and in the case of asymmetric illumination, cells in all forms of movement in the microchannel can be imaged perfectly to assist as in morphological analysis and learning.
