Thus, features defined as "first", "second" and the like may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.
[0037] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the laser-assisted cell culture device described in the embodiment of the present invention includes a light source body 1, a functional body 2, and a cell culture chamber 3. The light source body 1 is arranged outside the cell culture chamber 3 to prevent the high-power heating components in the light source body 1 from affecting the environment inside the cell culture chamber 3. The functional body 2 is arranged inside the cell culture chamber 3, and the cells to be cultured are placed in the functional body 2, so that the functional body 2 can irradiate and culture the cells to be cultured in the cell culture chamber 3 for a long time.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the light source body 1 includes a laser modulation module 4, an LED light source 5, a fiber coupler 6, and a light source chassis 7. The laser modulation module 4, the LED light source 5, and the fiber coupler 6 are arranged in the light source chassis 7. The laser modulation module 4 emits no less than two beams of low-energy laser light to irradiate the cells to be cultured. The energy density of the low-energy laser light is (0.005~5) W / cm 2 , and the wavelength of each low-energy laser is different.
[0040] The laser modulation module 4 includes at least two lasers 8. In the embodiment of the present invention, the laser modulation module 4 includes two independent lasers 8, each of which generates lasers with wavelengths of 660 nm and 808 nm, respectively. Each laser 8 is equipped with a knob and a data interface, and an operator can manually rotate the knob to control the on / off state and / or energy density of the low-energy laser light of each laser 8.
[0041] LED light source 5 emits LED light to illuminate the cells to be cultured, providing good illumination for imaging the cells to be cultured when monitoring them, while avoiding the speckle effect caused by low-energy lasers. Fiber coupler 6 couples the LED light and all low-energy lasers into optical fiber 9. Optical fiber 9 passes through a pre-set hole in the side wall of the cell culture chamber 3 and connects to the functional body 2, allowing the optical fiber to transmit the coupled light beam into the functional body 2. Due to the small diameter of optical fiber 9, it can pass through the pre-set hole well without affecting the internal environment of the cell culture chamber 3. If necessary, a sealing ring can be added to the pre-set hole for additional sealing.
[0042] In the embodiment of the present invention, a hub 21 is further provided in the light source body 1. External devices can control the two lasers 8 and the LED light source 5 respectively through the data line 20 and the hub 21 to complete the adjustment of the output beams of the LED light source 5 and the laser 8.
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the functional body 2 includes a functional chassis 10 , and a point light source emitter 11 , a stage 12 , a plane reflector 13 and a collimating lens 14 arranged in the functional chassis 10 .
[0044] The surface of the functional chassis 10 is provided with a sealing device to protect the internal devices from the influence of the humid environment, such as corrosion. The point light source emitter 11 receives the coupled light beam transmitted through the optical fiber 9, and emits the coupled light beam in the form of a point light source. The specific process is as follows: one end of the optical fiber 9 couples the LED light and all low-energy lasers into the optical fiber 9 through the optical fiber coupler 6, and the other end of the optical fiber 9 is connected to the point light source emitter 11, and the point light source emitter 11 emits the coupled light beam in the form of a point light source. By controlling the light-on state of the LED light source 5 and each laser 8, the point light source emitter 11 can freely switch the output light between low-energy lasers or LED lights of different bands.
[0045] The diverging light beam is reflected by a plane reflector 13 and then into a collimating lens 14. The collimating lens 14 converts the reflected light into a parallel beam. This parallel beam illuminates the cells to be cultured, which are placed on the stage 12. The cells to be cultured are placed on the stage 12 in a cell culture cassette 18. In actual operation, the cell culture cassette 18 can be replaced with another vessel, such as a culture dish, that can hold the cells to be cultured, as needed.
[0046] In this embodiment of the present invention, to reduce the size of the illumination, the illumination light path of point light source emitter 11 is oriented horizontally. A plane reflector 13 is positioned at a 45-degree angle to the horizontal directly above collimating lens 14. Point light source emitter 11 is located at the equivalent focal point of collimating lens 14. The emitted light is reflected by plane reflector 13 and modulated into a parallel beam by collimating lens 14. Stage 12 is perpendicular to the propagation direction of the parallel beam.
[0047] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a cell online monitoring device, such as Figure 4 As shown, it includes an objective lens 15, a camera 16 and an electric translation stage 17. The light reflected by the cells to be cultured enters the camera 16 through the objective lens 15, so that the cells to be cultured are imaged on the target surface of the camera 16, completing the capture of the cell image. The camera 16 is placed on the electric translation stage 17, and the electric translation stage 17 changes the distance between the camera 16 and the cells to be cultured to complete the focusing of the camera 16. Furthermore, an attenuation plate and a quarter-wave plate are plated at the center of the back focal plane of the objective lens 15, and the attenuation plate and the quarter-wave plate match the parallel light beam. Since the outgoing light is reflected by the plane reflector 13 and then modulated into a parallel light beam by the collimating lens 14, the parallel light beam will naturally converge to the center of the back focal plane of the objective lens 15. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, a circular attenuation plate is placed at the center of the back focal plane of the objective lens 15, which can also achieve interference between the parallel light beam and the scattered light of the cells to be cultured, produce phase contrast, and thus improve the imaging contrast of transparent cells.
[0048] The objective lens 15 used in this embodiment is a phase contrast objective lens with a magnification of 4 times, and the camera 16 is a Daheng board-level camera VEN-505-36U3M, which is placed inverted on the electric translation stage 17.
[0049] Based on the laser-assisted cell culture device and cell online monitoring device provided, the present invention also proposes a laser-assisted cell culture and online monitoring device, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it specifically includes a laser-assisted cell culture device, a cell online monitoring device and a control center 19.
[0050] Control center 19 controls laser modulation module 4, causing each laser 8 therein to emit low-energy laser light. It also controls LED light source 5 to emit LED light. Control center 19 is connected to camera 16, causing it to transmit captured cell images to control center 19. Control center 19 also controls motorized translation stage 17, causing it to adjust the distance between camera 16 and the cells to be cultured, thereby adjusting the focus of camera 16.
[0051] In this embodiment of the present invention, a control center 19 controls the two lasers 8 and the LED light source 5, respectively, via a data cable 20 and a hub 21. The camera 16, the motorized translation stage 17, and the control center 19 are connected via the data cable 20. The control center 19 is a host computer running Windows 10. It controls the laser modulation module 4, the LED light source 5, the camera 16, and the motorized translation stage 17, and stores cell images transmitted by the camera 16. The control center 19 operates the motorized translation stage 17, causing it to fine-tune the position of the camera 16 to achieve focus for imaging the cultured cells. The control center 19 also has a timing function and a program that sets the wavelength, energy density, duration, interval, and frequency of laser irradiation and imaging of cells. This program allows the control center to automatically and regularly control the laser modulation module 4, the LED light source 5, and the camera 16 to perform the specified tasks. The control center also has a data analysis function, analyzing cell images and, combined with current laser control data, plotting laser-cell growth curves.
[0052] When using the laser-assisted cell culture device and cell online monitoring device described in the embodiments of the present invention, the light source body 1 is placed outside the cell culture box 3, the functional body 2 is placed inside the cell culture box 3, and the optical fiber 9 is properly connected. The data cable 20 is properly connected to the control center 19, and then a cell culture box 18 or a culture dish or other device for holding cells to be cultured is placed on the stage 12. The operator can arbitrarily adjust the height of the electric translation stage 17 in the control center 19 to manually focus the camera 16, or can call the autofocus algorithm to achieve automatic focus and follow focus.
[0053] After completing the assembly of the device and adjusting the position of the components in the device, the operator can formulate an irradiation plan and a monitoring plan on the control center 19. When the planned task time arrives at Beijing time, the control center 19 will automatically control the device provided in the embodiment of the present invention to perform the low-energy laser irradiation function or the cell image shooting function. Among them, the irradiation plan and the monitoring plan provide flexible and rich parameters that are independent of each other, including the opening time, duration, energy density, irradiation frequency, cycle of each laser 8, and the shooting frequency, number of frames per shot, cycle, etc. of the camera 16. By customizing different irradiation plans for each laser 8, it is possible to achieve stable, long-term, repeated and unattended low-energy laser irradiation of cells in the box. The monitoring plan of the embodiment of the present invention will synchronously call the LED light source 5 and the camera 16, and the control center 19 will run the autofocus algorithm to achieve real-time focus locking of the camera 16, ensuring that the LED light source 5 is controlled to provide correct LED lighting and clear imaging while the camera 16 is exposed.
[0054] After the operator completes the configuration of the irradiation and monitoring plans in the control center 19, the formal culture process begins. During the formal culture process, the operator can monitor the real-time cell growth within the cell culture incubator 3 at any time on the control center 19. Historical images can also be viewed in a folder in the control center 19 to track the culture process. The culture and monitoring process does not require opening the cell culture incubator 3, thus avoiding environmental disturbances during cell growth, reducing the need for manual intervention, and simplifying the complex culture steps.
[0055] The planning period formulated in the embodiment of the present invention supports more than one month.
[0056] The laser-assisted cell culture device and the cell online monitoring device provided in the embodiments of the present invention can use the laser irradiation function or the cell monitoring function independently, and can be used as a separate low-energy laser irradiation instrument or a cell microscopic imaging instrument respectively.
[0057] It should be understood that the various forms of the processes shown above can be used to reorder, add, or delete steps. For example, the steps described in the present disclosure can be performed in parallel, sequentially, or in a different order, as long as the desired results of the technical solutions disclosed in the present disclosure can be achieved. This is not limited herein.
[0058] The above specific embodiments do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions may be made based on design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
