[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a block diagram of a dual-channel achromatic confocal laser endomicroscopy system in some embodiments of the present application. The present application discloses a dual-channel achromatic confocal laser endomicroscopy system, comprising: a light beam collimation and expansion module, a light beam scanning relay module, a light beam coupling and image transmission module connected in sequence, and a fluorescence signal acquisition module connected with the light beam collimation and expansion module, and a hardware control and data acquisition module connected with the fluorescence signal acquisition module;

[0036] The light beam collimation and expansion module comprises two laser light sources, a fiber coupler, a fiber collimator, a beam expander and a double-band dichroic mirror;

[0037] The two laser light sources emit two lasers of different wavelengths, which are combined by the fiber coupler, pass through the fiber collimator and the beam expander in sequence, and then pass through the double-band dichroic mirror into the light beam scanning relay module;

[0038] The light beam scanning relay module comprises an X-Y scanner and a relay lens, the X-Y scanner receives the laser transmitted by the double-band dichroic mirror and performs two-dimensional raster scanning, and the scanned laser is transmitted to the light beam coupling and image transmission module by the relay lens;

[0039] The light beam coupling and image transmission module comprises a coupling objective lens, a fiber bundle and a micro objective lens, the laser beam passing through the relay lens enters the coupling objective lens, focuses into the fiber bundle, focuses on the sample through the micro objective lens, excites the fluorescence signal emitted by the sample, and returns to the double-band dichroic mirror, and reflects to the fluorescence signal acquisition module;

[0040] The fluorescence signal collection module comprises a double-band narrow-band filter, a dichroic mirror, a condenser lens, a pinhole and a photomultiplier tube. The fluorescence signal sequentially passes through the double-band narrow-band filter and the dichroic mirror. The dichroic mirror separates the two fluorescence signals. The separated two fluorescence signals pass through the corresponding condenser lenses and pinholes, and are captured by the photomultiplier tube and converted into electrical signals.

[0041] The hardware control and data acquisition module comprises a data acquisition card and a computer system. The data acquisition card collects the electrical signals, which are reconstructed into two-dimensional images by the computer system.

[0042] Specifically, the light beam collimation and expansion module first combines the laser emitted by the two laser light sources through a fiber coupler, then passes through an achromatic fiber collimator to shape the light into parallel light, and then passes through an achromatic beam expander to expand the spot diameter to the required size, so as to facilitate subsequent light path scanning and focusing. The expanded spot contains two wavelengths, which enters the light beam scanning relay module through a double-band dichroic mirror.

[0043] The light beam scanning relay module is composed of an X-Y scanner composed of a pair of scanning mirrors and a relay lens. The scanning mirrors are controlled by external voltage signals to rotate, so as to realize grid scanning of the laser beam in two-dimensional space. Then, the light path is extended through an achromatic relay lens, and the scanning angle range and the beam diameter of the light beam entering the rear coupling objective lens are matched with the entrance pupil diameter of the rear coupling objective lens.

[0044] The parallel laser beam output from the relay lens at a certain angle enters the coupling objective lens, is focused into a single optical fiber in the fiber bundle through the coupling objective lens, the numerical aperture of the coupling objective lens is matched with the numerical aperture of the optical fiber to maximize the coupling efficiency, and the laser output from the end of the optical fiber is focused on the sample by the achromatic micro objective lens, so as to excite the sample to emit two fluorescence signals. The excited fluorescence signals return to the double-band dichroic mirror in the original path, and are reflected to the fluorescence signal collection module.

[0045] The two fluorescence intensity signals reflected by the double-band dichroic mirror of the fluorescence signal collection module first pass through a double-band narrow-band filter, which further filters the excitation light and transmits the fluorescence signal. Then, the two fluorescence signals are separated by a dichroic mirror, and are captured by a photomultiplier tube and converted into electrical signals after passing through the respective condenser lenses and pinholes. It is particularly pointed out that the two pinholes are placed at the focal plane of the condenser lens, which is conjugate with the focal plane of the distal end micro objective lens in the fiber bundle in the light beam coupling and image transmission module, forming a pair of conjugate focal planes. Therefore, it can be ensured that only the fluorescence signal at the focal plane of the micro objective lens passes through the pinhole, and the out-of-focus fluorescence signals at other positions are filtered out by the pinhole, thereby forming a high-contrast "optical section".

[0046] The hardware control and data acquisition module comprises an FPGA data acquisition card and a computer system, the FPGA chip with high sampling rate is used to control the X-Y scanner and synchronously sample the output electrical signal of the photomultiplier tube, then the signal is reconstructed into a two-dimensional image by the computer, and finally the image is displayed on the display for the terminal user.
