Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of biomedical imaging, and particularly relates to a dual-color alternating calcium imaging dual-channel image extraction method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of neuroscience research, in-depth exploration of neuron activity and neural network operation mechanism is of great significance for understanding brain function and conquering nervous system diseases. Calcium imaging technology, as an important means, provides researchers with cell-level neuron activity observation capability by detecting the fluorescence signal generated by calcium ion flow during neuron activity. However, traditional calcium imaging technology is mostly dependent on fixed experimental environment and is difficult to be effectively applied in freely moving animal models, which to some extent limits the research on neural activity in natural behavior state. The existing miniature calcium imaging microscope has only single-color excitation light and can only observe one type of neural activity. However, in the same observation area, there are usually two or more types of nerves, and the relationship between these neural activities is difficult to be observed by the calcium imaging microscope with only one excitation light. Therefore, integrating two calcium imaging microscopes and developing a device capable of simultaneously recording two types of neurons has become an important development trend in modern neuroscience research. Through such integration, researchers can realize real-time monitoring of different types of neurons in the same behavior in the same experimental system, or simultaneously monitor blood vessels with fluorescent markers and another type of neurons with fluorescent markers, thereby deeply analyzing the potential relationship between blood activity and neural activity, or the coordination relationship between different types of neural activities in the same behavior, thereby providing a new perspective and powerful tool for in-depth analysis of complex neural networks and central brain diseases.

[0003] However, the related devices on the market at present mostly have obvious defects. Most products only use a single LED light source. Such single light source system can only work in a specific wavelength range and cannot simultaneously carry out multi-spectral experiments. This limitation greatly limits the flexibility of experiments, so that when different fluorescent probes are operated, the equipment needs to be frequently adjusted or the light source needs to be replaced, which not only increases the complexity of experiments, but also easily introduces equipment adjustment errors, and at the same time can have a negative impact on the accuracy and stability of experimental data, and is difficult to meet the increasingly stringent requirements of neuroscience research on high-precision, multi-function and high-stability experiments.

[0025] The present application provides a double-color alternating calcium imaging double-channel image extraction method, aiming at solving the problem that the existing calcium imaging technology uses a single LED light source, which has significant limitations, and the accuracy and stability of experimental data are poor.

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0027] Please refer to the accompanying Figures 1-5 The present application provides a double-color alternating calcium imaging double-channel image extraction method, which comprises:

[0028] S1, providing a double-color alternating calcium imaging device; the double-color alternating calcium imaging device 10 comprises a light source assembly 1, a CMOS imaging assembly 2, a refined clock timer 3 and an extremely fine coaxial line 4, the light source assembly 1 is used to alternately emit light of at least two different wavelengths, and different wavelength light sources of the light source assembly 2 are respectively connected with the refined clock timer 3 through the extremely fine coaxial line 4;

[0029] S2, using the refined clock timer 3 to set the switching period, the high-level time length and the low-level time length of high-level signal and low-level signal, when the refined clock timer 3 outputs a high-level signal, triggering the extremely fine coaxial line 4 to make the light source of the corresponding wavelength light up and the duration is 80% of the high-level time length, for exciting a specific fluorescent probe, at the same time in the remaining 20% of the high-level time length, stopping the excitation of the light source, making the fluorescent protein naturally attenuate;

[0030] S3, after the high-level state ends, the refined clock timer 3 switches to a low-level signal, through the extremely fine coaxial line 4, the light source of another wavelength is turned on and the duration is 80% of the low-level time length, for exciting another fluorescent probe, at the same time in the remaining 20% of the low-level time length, stopping the excitation of the light source, making the fluorescent protein naturally attenuate;

[0031] S4, under the excitation condition of different wavelength light sources, a plurality of image frames are shot through the frame flipping mechanism of the CMOS imaging assembly 2, wherein the trigger of frame flipping is synchronized with the level signal switching of the refined clock timer, so that the fluorescent signals of the image frames shot at different times are derived from the excitation conditions of different wavelength light sources;

[0032] S5, collecting image frame data obtained by the CMOS imaging assembly 2, and analyzing and processing the image frame data to obtain relevant information of different fluorescent signals in the sample region to be detected.

[0033] It should be noted that the above frame flipping mechanism carries the key "frame" signal, i.e., the control instruction of high and low level alternation, through the extremely thin coaxial line 4 as the signal transmission link. The transmission frequency is accurately adapted to the frame rate of imaging, ensuring that the entire imaging process is orderly. When the high-level signal is transmitted along the extremely thin coaxial line 4 to the light source assembly 1, it drives a LED of a specific wavelength to emit light. The light beam irradiates the detection sample and excites a specific fluorescent signal. At the same time, the CMOS imaging assembly 2 detects the high level and quickly adjusts the imaging parameters such as exposure time and gain according to the preset program to prepare for collecting the corresponding image frame. When the level flips to low, the power supply to the current LED is stopped, and another wavelength LED is driven to emit light. The imaging parameters are also changed. In this way, through the frame flipping mechanism, efficient synchronization of light source and imaging is achieved, greatly reducing background noise and image distortion, and improving imaging quality and data acquisition efficiency. In addition, the above method adopts an alternating working mode of the light source, which can be customized according to experimental needs. Researchers can select suitable wavelength combinations according to specific scientific problems to meet the diversified needs of different research fields, not only reducing the complexity of operation, but also reducing potential costs, enabling more laboratories to participate in high-precision neuroscience research. This provides stronger support for scientific exploration and also provides the possibility for developing new neural intervention strategies. At the same time, the dual-color alternating calcium imaging dual-channel image extraction method provides higher sensitivity and contrast, allowing researchers to more accurately monitor neuron activity and greatly improving experimental efficiency. In addition, this method also reduces the complexity of equipment and operation, enabling more laboratories to conduct high-precision neuroscience research, which not only provides strong support for scientific exploration, but also provides the possibility for developing new neural intervention strategies. Through this "all-optical" technology, scientists can reveal the functions of different neural pathways in real-time monitoring and manipulation, providing new directions for improving human cognitive ability and treating neurological diseases.

[0034] In the above method, the limitations of a single light source are effectively avoided by alternating operation of the dual-wavelength light source, and the alternating operation of the dual-wavelength light source improves the flexibility of the experiment. During the switching process of the dual-wavelength light source, there are no obvious problems such as light intensity fluctuation and spectral distortion, which effectively avoids errors caused by equipment adjustment, thereby significantly improving the accuracy and repeatability of experimental data. In addition, the fine clock timer 3 can realize accurate management of two different wavelength light sources. This accurate timing control method can maximize signal strength when rapidly switching different wavelength light sources, while effectively avoiding overlapping or blurring of fluorescent signals caused by delayed switching of the excitation light source. At the same time, by using the frame flipping mechanism of the CMOS imaging assembly 2 to capture multiple image frames under different wavelength light source excitation conditions, the influence of background noise and image distortion can be minimized. This efficient switching capability enables researchers to distinguish and record different fluorescent signals present in the detected sample (cells or tissues).

[0035] Specifically, the related information of the different fluorescent signals includes fluorescent signal intensity distribution and fluorescent signal change trend. The analysis and processing of the image frame data in S5 specifically includes: S51, positioning and extracting the fluorescent signal region in the image frame data by an image recognition algorithm to obtain fluorescent signal data; S52, performing noise reduction processing on the extracted fluorescent signal data by a signal processing algorithm; S53, analyzing and processing the fluorescent signal data after noise reduction processing to obtain the fluorescent signal intensity distribution and the fluorescent signal change trend.

[0036] In the embodiment, the light source assembly 1 comprises a first light source unit 11 and a second light source unit 12; the first light source unit 11 comprises a green light source 111 for emitting light rays in a green light band; a green excitation light filter 112 arranged on an outgoing light path of the green light source 111 for filtering the light rays emitted by the green light source 111 to screen out first excitation light of a specific wavelength range; a first achromatic lens 113 located on an outgoing light path of the green excitation light filter 112 for focusing and chromatic aberration correction of the filtered first excitation light; a first beam splitter 114 for receiving the first excitation light processed by the first achromatic lens 113 and reflecting the first excitation light to a sample area to be detected and receiving fluorescent signals generated by excitation from the sample area to be detected and capable of transmitting the fluorescent signals; a first focusing lens 115 arranged on a light path of the fluorescent signals transmitted by the first beam splitter 114 for focusing the fluorescent signals; a red fluorescent filter 116 located on an outgoing light path of the first focusing lens 115 for filtering the fluorescent signals to obtain fluorescent signals of a specific wavelength range; the second light source unit 12 comprises a blue light source 121 for emitting light rays in a blue light band; a blue excitation light filter 122 arranged on an outgoing light path of the blue light source 121 for filtering the light rays emitted by the blue light source 121 to screen out second excitation light of a specific wavelength range; a second achromatic lens 123 located on an outgoing light path of the blue excitation light filter 122 for focusing and chromatic aberration correction of the filtered second excitation light; a second beam splitter 124 for receiving the second excitation light processed by the second achromatic lens 123 and reflecting the second excitation light to a sample area to be detected and receiving fluorescent signals generated by excitation from the sample area to be detected and capable of transmitting the fluorescent signals; a second focusing lens 125 arranged on a light path of the fluorescent signals transmitted by the second beam splitter 124 for focusing the fluorescent signals; a green fluorescent filter 126 located on an outgoing light path of the second focusing lens 125 for filtering the fluorescent signals to obtain fluorescent signals of a specific wavelength range; the CMOS imaging assembly 2 is located on outgoing light paths of the red fluorescent filter 116 and the green fluorescent filter 126 for receiving and detecting the fluorescent signals filtered by the red fluorescent filter 116 and the green fluorescent filter 126 and converting the fluorescent signals into electrical signals for subsequent signal analysis and processing.

[0037] It is worth mentioning that the green light source 111 includes two first LED lamp beads arranged in a diagonal direction for emitting green light, the blue light source 121 includes two second LED lamp beads arranged in a diagonal direction for emitting blue light, and the first LED lamp bead and the second LED lamp bead are arranged on the same plane of the substrate. The structure has the following advantages: 1. The light output efficiency is improved, the light loss is reduced, and the excitation light source is stronger. 2. It can help to achieve more uniform color mixing, thereby reducing color gradient or shadow; and it can achieve more uniform illumination, not only making the response of the fluorescent probe to different wavelengths more consistent, reducing signal fluctuation, but also eliminating the color difference problem that may be caused by color distribution difference, improving the color consistency of the image, so that more accurate calcium imaging data and more accurate and reliable fluorescent signals can be obtained, and the dynamic of calcium ions in the detected sample (cells or tissues) can be accurately analyzed; 3. The resolution of the image is improved, and more detailed intracellular structure observation is supported; 4. There is a slight difference in heat distribution between different types of LED lamp beads. Through the diagonal layout, better heat distribution is brought, and the heat is more evenly distributed on the substrate, which helps to prolong the service life of the LED lamp bead and improve the reliability. From some angles, the diagonal arrangement can reduce the phenomenon of color dominance. In visual perception, this diagonal arrangement reduces the influence of different color lamp wicks on the viewing angle, improves the display effect, and makes the color performance more consistent when viewed from most angles.

In addition, during the light source switching process, there are no obvious problems such as light intensity fluctuation and spectral distortion, which effectively avoids the error caused by equipment adjustment, thereby significantly improving the accuracy and repeatability of experimental data. At the same time, the double-wavelength light source of the application can also be customized and adjusted according to different experimental requirements, such as the requirements of different sample types, different experimental scales and the like, the parameters of the light source (such as light intensity, pulse frequency and the like), the configuration of the light path (such as adding or replacing specific optical elements), further simplifying the experimental process and improving the efficiency and flexibility of the experiment.

[0039] The above-mentioned embodiments should be understood as illustrative rather than limiting the scope of the application, and the scope of the application is defined by the claims. Some non-essential improvements and adjustments made to the application by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the application still fall within the scope of the application.
