[0076] See also Figures 1 to 10 To explain this embodiment, first, the stepper motor 20 moves the lower optical module 17 to a position where a clearer image can be seen through a belt, and then controls it. The main control center 7 selects the full automatic mode or the manual mode, and the software controls the operation of the X, Y, and Z axes of the lower X-axis module 6, the lower Y-axis module 9, and the lower Z-axis module 24.

[0084] Figure 7 In the embodiment, the camera 27 is connected to the microscope lens 30 by means of external threads, and the lower lens fixing ring 29 is fixed to the microscope lens 30 by means of top screws and threads, and the position can be adjusted up and down by loosening the top screws to adjust the optical effect, which is very important for clear image acquisition.

All the screws of this module can be adjusted to adjust the image clarity by adjusting the tightness. It is very important to obtain a clear image.

[0085] Figure 8 In the figure, the upper Z-axis module 34 is fixed on the support frame by means of threads, the top lifting block 31 is fixed on the slider of the upper Z-axis module 34 by means of threads, the top lifting screw 32 is connected to the bearing seat and the synchronous pulley up and down, and is connected to the top lifting block 31 by means of threads in the middle. The top lifting screw 32 rotates and drives the top optical system fixing block 33 to move up and down through the threaded fixing method, so that the upper optical module 5 moves up and down to adjust the focal length of the optical system to obtain a clear image.

[0086] The upper and lower ends of the bottom lifting screw 22 are fixed on the bottom Z-axis focusing function module fixing plate through bearings. The stepper motor 20 fine-tunes and drives the bottom lifting screw 22 to rotate through the synchronous belt.

[0087] The bottom lifting screw 22 is connected with the bottom lifting block 21 and the lower Z-axis module 24 by means of threads, and the bottom optical system 23 fixing block is driven to move up and down by the rotation of the screw.

[0088] The bottom optical system 23 fixing block is connected to the bottom lifting block 21 by means of threads, thereby controlling the up and down movement of the lower optical module 17.

[0089] The lower light source fixing ring 25 and the lower lens fixing ring 29 are both fixed at corresponding positions by means of threads and top screws, and can be moved up and down to be adjusted in coordination with the formed image.

[0090] The lower light source adjustment block 28 is connected with the lower light source fixing ring 25 and the lower lens fixing ring 29 by screw threads.

[0091] First, let the light source 26 and the microscope lens 30 form any degree in the range of 10° to 45°, and display a relatively clear image on the main control center 7. Then adjust the angle to evenly cover the entire display interface, and then adjust the stepper motor 20 to fine-tune the movement of the microscope lens 30 up and down until the image is clear. The main control center 7 controls the software to make the camera 27 take fixed-point photos and save them. Because the bottom can scan three layers, each cross-layer observation must be controlled by the main control center 7 to control the stepper motor 20 to operate the lower optical module 17 until a clear image is displayed.

[0092] When the operation is finished and the machine is shut down, the lower optical module 17 is moved to the bottom by the stepper motor 20 so that the lower sealing plate 15 can be closed without interference.

[0093] First, the main control center 7 switches and operates the upper optical module 5 to observe the culture status of the upper two layers of the cell factory.

[0094] The top lifting screw 32 is fixed together with the top Z-axis focusing function module through the upper and lower bearing fixing seats.

[0095] The stepper motor 20 drives the top lifting screw 32 to rotate through the synchronous belt

[0096] The top lifting block 31 is connected to the rotating bearing seat 32 on the top lifting screw rod by means of threads.

[0097] The top optical system fixing block 33 is connected to the top lifting block 27 by means of threads.

[0098] The main control center 7 controls the stepper motor 20 to control the upper X-axis module 6, the upper Y-axis module 9, and the upper Z-axis module 34 so that the optical module 5 can move in three directions: X, Y, and Z.

[0099] The method for observing the first layer at the top is the same as that for observing the bottom plane. After the upper optical module 5 observes the top layer, it slowly moves downward through the stepper motor 20, and moves the stepper motor 20 in the X and Y directions to the center of the top corner of the cell factory for fixed-point observation. Before each fixed-point observation, the up and down movement must be repeated to avoid the corners.

[0100] The images at different positions are obtained by the upper optical module 5 and the lower optical module 17, and then the main control center 7 software is used to analyze and process the images to obtain the results.

[0101] After the device is built, the object is fixed and scanned, and then compared with the standard pictures, and finally analyzed and judged. By comparing the collected pictures with the standard pictures, the device meets the standards. In addition, the LED light source of this embodiment can be changed to a ring light source.

[0102] The fully automatic cell factory in-situ observation device in this embodiment involves multiple fields and is applicable to the vaccine industry, cell and gene therapy, and stem cell fields. This technology achieves multi-layer, comprehensive, rapid and clear observation of 40-layer cell factory culture dishes through unique lens and light source design and precise automatic control.

[0103] The side observation technology is a method of directly penetrating the culture dish to provide light source to the lens. The light source and the lens are in a straight line. With the help of the robotic arm, the optical axis can be adjusted to the angle of the culture dish to observe the cell culture status within 10-15mm from the edge of each layer of the 40-layer culture dish. The fully automatic microscopic imaging observation technology can be controlled by advanced software to perform scanning observation and take pictures of the entire layer of cell culture dishes, identify the cell culture status pictures of the bottom three layers, and analyze the overall cell culture status in combination with side observation.

[0104] The implementation steps are:

[0105] Sample preparation: Spread the liquid in the culture dish evenly on each layer so that the liquid level of each layer is roughly the same.

[0106] Focus adjustment: Adjust the focus through the control system until a relatively clear image can be seen.

[0107] Light source adjustment: Keep the focal length unchanged, adjust the light source up and down until a clear image is presented and fix the light source position.

[0108] Scanning and observation and analysis: The software controls the lens to move in parallel, and fixed-point photography is performed to observe and analyze all photos and evaluate the culture status.

[0109] Thus, the data is comprehensive: comprehensive coverage scanning observation, random photography, and improved data collection efficiency; strong matching: suitable for culture dishes of all layers. High precision: using servo system, high motion precision. High degree of automation: with one-button operation and manual operation, it can adapt to different needs and greatly improve work efficiency.

[0110] In this embodiment, the ring light source is adjusted up and down to evenly illuminate the light reflected from the liquid surface in the culture dish to provide light source for the lens. It is also suitable for adjustable light source angles and is suitable for various occasions. The light source and the lens are aligned with each other and penetrate the culture dish at an angle. The size of the observed area depends on the height of each layer. The clarity is adjusted by adjusting the angle between the optical axis and the culture dish and the distance between the lens and the culture dish. It is conducive to imaging the complete cell structure clearly, which is conducive to observation and analysis. The whole machine adopts a servo motor with an encoder and a collective controller, and the entire working stroke is closed-loop controlled. It achieves low-cost open-loop control, and various functions can be added later to meet more needs.

[0111] The device described in this embodiment is made of mirror stainless steel as a whole, and the stainless steel material has low activity. The role of the open-loop stepping control system is to reduce costs, and subsequent secondary development can continue on the original basis to better meet market demand.

[0112] Modular design reduces the size of the equipment, reduces the complexity of the structure, and facilitates maintenance. Automated equipment reduces manual operation and improves work efficiency. Reduces manual errors, saves labor and time, and improves production efficiency. Simplifies operation. Equipped with advanced data processing software, it can automatically analyze and manage test results. Provides comprehensive images to help operators analyze and summarize, and is used for subsequent production data storage.

[0113] The device and method described in this embodiment are applicable to a variety of fields, including hospitals, research institutes, laboratories, vaccine companies, etc. It can improve the overall cell gene culture level and the progress of biomedical engineering. It can provide high-precision, multi-magnification cell culture image data to provide reliable data support for production personnel. It can promote the development of allergen-related research and explore new allergy mechanisms and treatment methods. It can promote the development of vaccine industry and stem cell industries and explore new biomedical processes.

[0114] By designing a cell factory microscopic observation device, we aim to achieve more efficient, accurate and comprehensive cell culture observation, meet the needs of vaccine production and scientific research, and improve the development of biomedicine.
