Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of through-focus scanning optical microscopy measurement, and in particular to a through-focus scanning microscopy system and a measurement method based on an acousto-optic modulator. Background Art

[0002] The traditional through-focus scanning microscopic image acquisition system uses piezoelectric ceramics to control the z-axis displacement of the sample, so that the sample is located at different set optical axis positions, and then the through-focus scanning microscopic image sequence of the sample is acquired. However, due to the mechanical properties of the piezoelectric ceramics themselves, when the piezoelectric ceramics are used continuously for a period of time, their displacement control efficiency is significantly reduced, which restricts the acquisition rate of the through-focus scanning image sequence. In terms of position control accuracy, the position accuracy of the mechanical control method is negatively correlated with the control range, which makes it difficult to meet the increasing demand for high-precision and large-range through-focus microscopic image sequence acquisition. In addition, high-precision mechanical displacement control is complex and requires complex position calibration, and the debugging cost and hardware cost are high.

[0003] In the overfocus scanning microscopic image sequence acquisition method based on wavelength control, the spatial position of the sample remains unchanged during measurement. The monochromator generates monochromatic illumination light, and the microscopic images corresponding to different monochromatic lights are collected to form an overfocus scanning microscopic image sequence. According to the chromatic aberration effect of the optical microscope system, microscopic images of different wavelengths correspond to different states of the sample in focus, negative overfocus, and positive overfocus. The use of a monochromator can achieve higher wavelength control resolution and finer overfocus control, but the wavelength control speed of the monochromator is slow, which limits the efficiency of optical microscopic image acquisition.

The measuring module 500 receives the third illumination beam split from the first illumination beam, measures the wavelength value of the third illumination beam, and feeds back the wavelength measurement value of the third illumination beam to an external host computer. The external host computer adjusts the parameters of the acousto-optic modulator 4 in the light source module 100 in real time according to the wavelength value of the third illumination beam fed back by the measuring module 500, and controls the light source module 100 to output a monochromatic collimated illumination beam with a fixed wavelength. After the first illumination beam is split by the first illumination module 300, a fourth illumination beam is output, and the fourth illumination beam is irradiated onto the sample stage 600 from the front, forming a uniform illumination light field on the surface of the sample to be tested, forming a falling Kohler illumination.

[0074] based on Figure 1 and Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the structure of the over-focus scanning microscope system based on the acousto-optic modulator is shown in FIG. Figure 3 Shown is applied to Figure 1 The flow chart of the measurement method of the over-focus scanning microscope system based on the acousto-optic modulator shown in the figure comprises the following steps:

[0075] Step 301: The light source module generates a wavelength-adjustable monochromatic collimated illumination beam through an acousto-optic modulator;

[0076] Step 302: The light splitting module splits the monochromatic collimated illumination beam into a first illumination beam and a second illumination beam;

[0077] Step 303: a first illumination beam is irradiated to the sample to be tested from the front, and a second illumination beam is irradiated to the sample to be tested from the back, wherein the sample to be tested is fixed on a sample stage and microscopic focusing is achieved by moving the sample stage;

[0078] Step 304: The acquisition module acquires the microscopic image formed after the first illumination light beam and the second illumination light beam are irradiated to the sample to be tested from the front and back sides respectively;

[0079] Step 305: the measurement module measures the wavelength value of the first illumination light beam and transmits it to the external host computer, and the external host computer feeds back and adjusts the control parameters of the acousto-optic modulator in the light source module so that the light source module outputs a monochromatic collimated illumination light beam of a set wavelength; and

[0080] Step 306: Repeat the steps of generating a monochromatic collimated illumination beam with adjustable wavelength by the light source module and acquiring corresponding microscopic images by the acquisition module, so that the acquisition module acquires a microscopic image sequence of the sample to be tested under the monochromatic collimated illumination beams of all set monochromatic wavelengths.

[0081] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the sample to be tested is fixed on the sample stage 600 through a three-axis sample displacement stage 9. Before fixing the three-axis sample displacement stage, the parameters of the wide-spectrum high-brightness light source in the light source module are adjusted, and the light source module generates a monochromatic collimated illumination beam of a preset wavelength through an acousto-optic modulator, and the preset wavelength range is 500-600nm. Under the irradiation of the monochromatic collimated illumination beam of this preset wavelength, the three-axis sample displacement stage is fixed at a position where the sample is clearly focused. When the wavelength of the monochromatic collimated illumination beam meets the wavelength modulation range (400-700nm) of the acousto-optic modulator, the sample to be tested can present a microscopic image of different overfocus states at this fixed position. Specifically, when the wavelength of the monochromatic collimated illumination beam is less than the preset wavelength, the sample to be tested is in a negative overfocus state, and the overfocus amount generated in the z-axis is negative; when the wavelength of the monochromatic collimated illumination beam is greater than the preset wavelength, the sample to be tested is in a positive overfocus state, and the overfocus amount generated in the z-axis is positive.

[0082] The spectroscopic module splits the above-mentioned monochromatic collimated illumination beam into a first illumination beam and a second illumination beam. The first illumination beam irradiates the sample to be tested from the front, and the second illumination beam irradiates the sample to be tested from the back. By adjusting the three-axis sample displacement stage, a clear microscopic image of the sample to be tested appears on the area array camera. The clear image of the sample to be tested on the area array camera indicates that the sample to be tested is located at the microscopic focus position under the irradiation of the monochromatic collimated illumination beam. Lock the three-axis sample displacement stage, fix the sample to be tested at the microscopic focus position under the irradiation of the monochromatic collimated illumination beam, and do not move the three-axis sample displacement stage any more.

[0083] The first illumination beam and the second illumination beam are respectively irradiated to the sample to be tested from the front, and the integration time of the area array camera in the acquisition module is adjusted to match the monochromatic collimated illumination beam of the wavelength, so that the acquisition module collects the microscopic image of the sample to be tested under the irradiation of the monochromatic collimated illumination beam. The measurement module measures the wavelength value of the first illumination beam and transmits it to the external host computer, and the control parameters of the acousto-optic modulator in the light source module are fed back by the external host computer to adjust the control parameters of the acousto-optic modulator in the light source module, so that the light source module outputs the monochromatic collimated illumination beam of a stable wavelength. Repeat the steps for a predetermined number of times: after the parameters of the wide spectrum high brightness light source in the light source module are adjusted, the light source module generates a monochromatic collimated illumination beam at a set wavelength through the acousto-optic modulator and does not change the position of the three-axis sample displacement stage, and after the parameters of the area array camera in the acquisition module are changed, the acquisition module collects the microscopic image of the sample to be tested irradiated by the monochromatic collimated illumination beam of the set wavelength. After repeating the above steps, a microscopic image sequence of the sample to be tested under the irradiation of monochromatic collimated illumination beams of all monochromatic wavelengths is obtained, and the wavelengths of all the above monochromatic collimated illumination beams meet 400-700nm.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first illumination module includes a first lens and a second beam splitter, and the second illumination module includes a first reflector, a second reflector, a second lens, and a third lens. In step 303, the first illumination beam is irradiated to the sample to be tested from the front, and the second illumination beam is irradiated to the sample to be tested from the back, wherein the sample to be tested is fixed to the sample stage and microscopic focusing is achieved by moving the sample stage, including:

[0086] The first illumination beam is converged by the first lens and irradiated to the second beam splitter, and is split by the second beam splitter to form a third illumination beam and a fourth illumination beam; by changing the positions of the first lens and the second beam splitter, the fourth illumination beam can be irradiated on the back focal plane of the microscope objective lens, and the fourth illumination beam is irradiated to the sample to be tested from the front as a parallel beam after passing through the microscope objective lens, forming a falling Kohler illumination; by changing the positions of the first reflector and the second reflector, the second illumination beam is reflected by the first reflector and the second reflector, and the propagation direction is changed and is incident on the second lens in parallel; by changing the positions of the second lens and the third lens, the second illumination beam is converged by the second lens and irradiated to the focal plane of the third lens, and then diverged by the third lens and irradiated to the sample to be tested from the back as a parallel beam; the sample to be tested is fixed to the sample stage through a three-axis sample displacement stage, and the measurement area of ​​the sample to be tested is found and the measurement area is located through the xy axis displacement of the three-axis sample displacement stage; the microscopic focusing of the sample to be tested is achieved through the z axis displacement of the three-axis sample displacement stage.

[0087] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the acquisition module includes a microscope objective lens, an imaging lens barrel, and an area array camera. In step 304, the acquisition module acquires a microscopic image formed after the first illumination beam and the second illumination beam are irradiated to the sample to be tested from the front and back, respectively, including: the first illumination beam and the second illumination beam are irradiated to the sample to be tested from the front and back, respectively, to form a microscopic image of the sample to be tested, and the microscope objective lens of the sample to be tested is transmitted to the area array camera by adjusting the position of the microscope objective lens and the imaging lens barrel; the microscopic image of the sample to be tested obtained by irradiating the current monochromatic collimated illumination beam is acquired by changing the exposure time of the area array camera

[0088] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a measurement module includes an optical fiber and a spectrometer. In step 305, the measurement module measures the wavelength value of the first illumination light beam and transmits it to an external host computer. The external host computer feeds back and adjusts the control parameters of the acousto-optic modulator in the light source module, so that the light source module outputs a monochromatic collimated illumination light beam of a set wavelength, including: the measurement module measures the wavelength value of the first illumination light beam and transmits it to the external host computer; the first illumination light beam passes through a second beam splitter to form a third illumination light beam, and the third illumination light beam is transmitted to the spectrometer through the optical fiber; the change in wavelength is measured by the spectrometer, so that the spectrometer can measure the wavelength value of the third illumination light beam; the spectrometer transmits the measured wavelength value of the third illumination light beam to the external host computer.

[0089] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the steps of repeatedly executing the light source module generating a monochromatic collimated illumination beam with adjustable wavelength and the acquisition module acquiring microscopic images in step 306, so that the acquisition module acquires a microscopic image sequence of the sample to be tested under the monochromatic collimated illumination beams of all set monochromatic wavelengths, include: repeatedly executing the light source module generating a monochromatic collimated illumination beam with adjustable wavelength for a predetermined number of times, and the predetermined number of times is related to the wavelength change amount. Within the wavelength control range of the acousto-optic modulator, after setting the wavelength change amount, the number of times the wavelength is generated within the wavelength control range, i.e., the predetermined number of times, can be determined. Specifically, for example, within the range of 400 to 700 nm, when the wavelength change amount is 20 nm, the light source module generates 16 monochromatic collimated illumination beams of different wavelengths, i.e., it is necessary to repeat the above steps 16 times, so that the acquisition module acquires microscopic images corresponding to all wavelengths within the range of 400 to 700 nm, and forms an over-focus microscopic image sequence. In practical applications, the wavelength change amount is changed as needed to ensure that the over-focus microscopic image corresponding to the desired sample over-focus state can be acquired, and the desired over-focus microscopic image sequence is obtained. When the light source module generates a monochromatic collimated illumination beam repeatedly for a predetermined number of times, the acquisition module also acquires microscopic images for a predetermined number of times to acquire microscopic images of the sample to be tested under the illumination of all monochromatic collimated illumination beams to form an overfocus microscopic image sequence. The overfocus microscopic image sequence includes overfocus microscopic images and focused microscopic images of the sample to be tested acquired by the acquisition module under the illumination of monochromatic collimated illumination beams of different wavelengths, and the overfocus microscopic images correspond to microscopic images in a negative overfocus state and microscopic images in a positive overfocus state.

The present disclosure also adopts an acousto-optic modulator to change the wavelength of the monochromatic collimated illumination light beam, thereby increasing the wavelength control rate to the millisecond level, significantly improving the optical microscopic image acquisition efficiency. In addition, since the volume of the acousto-optic modulator is very small, the over-focus scanning microscopy system proposed in the present disclosure can not only simplify the displacement control device, but also simplify the optical structure of the high-precision control monochromator to change the wavelength, significantly reducing the volume of the over-focus scanning microscopy system.
