Problems solved by technology

However, due to the principle of FED, it requires a positive confocal image and a negative confocal image during imaging, which results in the need to scan twice if a super-resolution image is to be obtained, which reduces the imaging speed

Abstract

The invention discloses a real-time fluorescence radiation differential super-resolution microscopy method based on parallel spot scanning and device. In the method, a laser beam is divided to S-polarized light and P-polarized light, the S-polarized light is modulated to a circularly-polarized solid spot, and the P-polarized light is firstly modulated to eddy polarized light and is then modulatedto a circularly-polarized hollow spot; solid spot excitation light and hollow spot excitation light are staggered for at least 200 nm on an object plane; the solid spot excitation light and the hollowspot excitation light are used to perform two-dimensional scanning on a fluorescence sample simultaneously, and a positive confocal fluorescence intensity map obtained by solid spot modulation and anegative confocal fluorescence intensity map obtained by hollow spot modulation are obtained; and the two fluorescence intensity maps are subjected to shift matching. As two spots are adopted for simultaneous scanning, in comparison with the method of switching a modulation spot back and forth by the traditional fluorescence emission differential microscopy system, the sampling speed is more thantwice the traditional speed, the super-resolution dynamic microscopy effects under the confocal scanning speed can be realized, and the imaging speed can be improved significantly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of super-resolution microscopy, in particular to a method capable of simultaneously obtaining a positive confocal image modulated by a solid light spot and a negative confocal image modulated by a hollow light spot in the far field, and using a differential method to achieve super-diffraction limit High-resolution super-resolution microscopy method and device. Background technique [0002] The development of fluorescence microscopy has greatly promoted the research in the fields of biological cytology and other fields. However, due to optical diffraction, there is a resolution limit in the conventional far-field optical microscopy method. According to the Abbe diffraction limit theory, the diffraction limit can be determined by the focusing of the objective lens. The full width at half maximum of the light spot is represented, that is, Δr=0.61λ / NA, where λ is the wavelength of light, and NA is the numerical aperture o...
