Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of optical microscopic imaging, and in particular to a multiphoton imaging system, a multiphoton stimulation system and a multiphoton imaging and stimulation system. Background Art
[0002] Multi-photon microscopy (MPM), including two-photon microscopy and three-photon microscopy, is a nonlinear microscopic imaging technology that uses high-energy infrared lasers to excite fluorescent molecules to obtain high-resolution imaging of deep tissues. Compared with single-photon microscopy, multi-photon microscopy has lower excitation photon energy, which can reduce tissue damage and increase imaging depth.
[0003] Multiphoton imaging technology is widely used in fields such as neuroscience, developmental biology, and immunology, and is an indispensable tool in modern biomedical research. Although two-photon microscopy has a high imaging depth and low tissue damage, it still faces some challenges when imaging deep tissues. When imaging deep tissues, ordinary two-photon microscopes are affected by tissue heterogeneity and optical aberrations, and the imaging quality is significantly reduced. Aberrations can cause image blur and reduced resolution, especially in high-resolution imaging. Due to changes in the optical properties of tissues, the excitation spot may be out of focus after entering deep tissues, resulting in weakened fluorescence signals and reduced imaging clarity. As the excitation light penetrates deeper into the tissue, the scattering and absorption of light increase, resulting in weakened signals, increased background noise, and ultimately a decrease in the signal-to-noise ratio, making it difficult to obtain clear images in deep tissues.
[0004] Biomedical research requires not only the observation of cells, but also the manipulation of specific cells. Chemical genetics and optogenetics are commonly used to manipulate specific cells, among which optogenetics has higher temporal and spatial resolution. In addition, during two-photon imaging, single-photon optogenetics and two-photon optogenetics can be used for more precise stimulation. Specific cells can be stimulated while being observed, and the effects of activation or inhibition of specific cells on the activity of surrounding cells and on specific behaviors can be observed. Traditional two-photon optogenetics requires stimulation of target neurons one by one, which means that it cannot accurately activate multiple target neurons or regions at the same time, which is very limited for studying complex neural circuits or large-scale neural activities.

[0044] The system switches the system optical path to a multiphoton imaging optical path or an adaptive optics (AO) multiphoton imaging optical path by adjusting the position of the electrically controlled movable reflector, specifically including:
[0045] Multiphoton imaging optical path: the first electrically-controlled movable reflector 1 in the first position and the second electrically-controlled movable reflector 4 in the first position are not connected to the multiphoton imaging optical path, the output of the imaging laser directly acts on the imaging resonant galvanometer 6 after beam expansion through the lens group, the output of the imaging resonant galvanometer 6 acts on the imaging non-resonant galvanometer 10 after amplification by the lens, the output of the imaging non-resonant galvanometer 10 acts on the objective lens 16 after reflection by the dichroic mirror 11 through the first optical path containing the lens;

[0047] The optical path of the system is switched to a multi-photon light stimulation optical path or a multi-photon holographic light stimulation optical path by adjusting the position of the electrically controlled movable reflector, specifically:
[0048] Multi-photon light stimulation optical path: the output of the stimulation imaging laser is reflected and directed by the third electrically-controlled movable reflector 17 in the first position, and then expanded by the lens group. The expanded light beam is reflected and directed by the sixth electrically-controlled movable reflector 26 in the first position, and then acts on the stimulation non-resonant galvanometer 9. The output of the stimulation non-resonant galvanometer 9 is transmitted by the dichroic mirror 11 and then acts on the objective lens 16 through the first optical path containing the lens;

After the zero-order light is blocked by the zero-order baffle 25 at the focus, the spot size is adjusted by the lens to be consistent with the size before entering the stimulation non-resonant galvanometer 9 in the multiphoton light stimulation optical path. The output of the stimulation non-resonant galvanometer 9 is transmitted through the dichroic mirror 11 and acts on the objective lens 16 through the first optical path containing the lens.
[0050] The multi-photon light stimulation optical path and the multi-photon holographic light stimulation optical path share the same optical path after acting on the non-resonant galvanometer 9 to stimulate the non-resonant galvanometer.
[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the imaging laser (Laser IMG) uses Spark Laser ALCOR 920, and the stimulation laser (Laser STI) uses Anyang FemtoYL TM -20 laser, the imaging resonant galvanometer 6 uses the Cambridgetechnology 8K resonant galvanometer, the imaging non-resonant galvanometer 10 uses the Cambridge technology6215 galvanometer, the stimulating non-resonant galvanometer 9 uses the Jinhaichuang SG1105 galvanometer, and the wavefront modulator 21 uses the meadowlark 1024×1024SpatialLight Modulator.
[0052] In this embodiment, when the electrically controlled movable reflector 1 is located at position ① and the electrically controlled movable reflector 4 is located at position ①, it is a common multi-photon imaging optical path. The imaging laser (Laser IMG) emits laser light (spot of about 1 mm), which is magnified 5 times by the lens group 2, and further enlarged 1.25 times by the lens 7 with a focal length of 100 mm and the lens 8 with a focal length of 125 mm after passing through the resonant galvanometer 6. Then, after the laser light passes through the non-resonant scanning galvanometer 10, it is reflected by the dichroic mirror 11, and further enlarged 2.5 times by the scanning lens 12 with a focal length of 80 mm and the sleeve lens 14 with a focal length of 200 mm. Finally, the light beam enters the objective lens 16. After multiple beam expansions, the light spot is magnified about 15 times before entering the objective lens, almost filling the objective lens entrance pupil, and high-resolution multi-photon imaging can be performed.
[0053] Adaptive optics (AO) is a technology used to compensate for aberrations in optical systems, which can significantly improve the imaging quality of microscopes. The AO system improves the focus and imaging clarity of the light beam by real-time monitoring and correction of optical aberrations, which is particularly important in deep tissue imaging.
[0054] In this embodiment, when the electrically controlled movable reflector 1 is located at position ②, the electrically controlled movable reflector 19 is located at position ①, the electrically controlled movable reflector 23 is located at position ①, and the electrically controlled movable reflector 4 is located at position ②, this is a multi-photon imaging optical path with adaptive optics. The imaging laser (Laser IMG) emits a laser (spot of about 1 mm), which is reflected by the electrically controlled movable reflector 1, and after the spot is magnified 3 times by the beam expander 3, it is reflected by the electrically controlled movable reflector 19, and after the spot is further magnified 5 times by the lens group 20, it enters the wavefront control device 21. At this time, the spot is magnified 15 times, almost filling the meadowlark 1024×1024 SLM 22 (Array Size 17.4×17.4mm), thereby maximizing the wavefront modulation effect. Then the light beam passes through the lens 22 with a focal length of 350 mm and the lens 5 with a focal length of 120 mm, and the spot is reduced to about 5 times the laser light outlet, ensuring that the spot size is close to the spot size before the ordinary multi-photon imaging optical path reaches the resonant galvanometer 6. After being reflected by the electrically controlled movable reflector 4, the optical path is merged with the ordinary multi-photon imaging optical path. After subsequent beam expansion, the spot size almost fills the objective lens entrance pupil, realizing high-resolution adaptive optical multi-photon imaging.
[0055] In this embodiment, when the electrically controlled movable reflector 17 is located at position ① and the electrically controlled movable reflector 26 is located at position ①, this is the ordinary multi-photon light stimulation optical path. The stimulation laser (Laser STI) emits a laser (spot size is about 3 mm), which is reflected by the electrically controlled movable reflector 17, magnified 1.5 times by the lens group 18, and reflected by the electrically controlled movable reflector 26, and then enters the light stimulation non-resonant galvanometer 9, which has a size of 5 mm, and the spot almost fills the entire galvanometer. The dichroic mirror 11 transmits the light stimulation laser, and after passing through the scanning lens 12 with a focal length of 80 mm and the sleeve lens 14 with a focal length of 200 mm, the spot is further magnified 2.5 times, and finally the light beam enters the objective lens. After multiple beam expansions, the spot is magnified by about 3.75 times before entering the objective lens, and high-precision multi-photon stimulation can be performed.
[0056] In this embodiment, when the electrically controlled movable reflector 17 is located at position ②, the electrically controlled movable reflector 19 is located at position ②, the electrically controlled movable reflector 23 is located at position ②, and the electrically controlled movable reflector 26 is located at position ②, it is a multi-photon holographic light stimulation optical path. The stimulation laser (Laser STI) emits a laser (spot size is about 3mm), which enters the wavefront control device 21 after being magnified 5 times by the lens group 20. At this time, the spot almost fills the meadowlark1024×1024SLM (Array Size 17.4×17.4mm), which maximizes the wavefront modulation effect. The laser modulated and reflected by the SLM is reflected by the electrically controlled movable reflector 23, passes through the lens 24 with a focal length of 350 mm, is blocked by the zero-order baffle 25 at the focusing point, and then passes through the lens 27 with a focal length of 150 mm. At this time, the spot size is about 2.15 times the size of the laser light outlet, occupying the stimulation non-resonant galvanometer 9, and then the optical path is merged with the ordinary multi-photon light stimulation. After multiple beam expansions, the spot is magnified by about 5.375 times before entering the objective lens, and high-precision multi-photon holographic light stimulation can be performed.
