Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microscope shooting, and relates to a device for observing and recording microscope imaging. Background Art

[0002] Research in the field of life sciences often involves experimental operations, in which the use of microscopes is essential for observing cell and tissue structures. Although there are professional microscope imaging devices on the market, these devices usually need to be connected to a computer in order to record and save experimental data. However, these professional devices are not only expensive and cumbersome to operate, but also take up a large space once connected to a computer, so they are mainly limited to high-end scientific research institutions.

[0003] With the rapid advancement of electronic technology, high-resolution smartphones have become very common, and many people have begun to try to use their phones to take images under a microscope. However, in actual operation, due to hand shaking, it often leads to focusing difficulties, blurred and incomplete images, which not only affects the shooting quality and makes the imaging effect unstable, but also increases the time required for shooting. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for observing and recording microscope imaging in order to overcome the defects of the prior art.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0006] A device for observing and recording microscope imaging, comprising a clamping jaw for clamping a microscope stand, a turntable arranged on the clamping jaw, a first telescopic rod erected on the turntable, a steering sleeve arranged at the end of the first telescopic rod, a second telescopic rod arranged on the steering sleeve, a ball hinge arranged at the end of the second telescopic rod, a fixing frame assembly arranged on the ball hinge, and a camera / video recording device arranged on the fixing frame assembly;

[0007] The turntable includes a rotating gear that is rotatably arranged on the clamping claw through a rotating shaft and is coaxially rotatably connected with the first telescopic rod, a cover shell that is fixedly arranged on the clamping claw and covers the rotating gear, an opening opened in the side wall of the cover shell, a brake rod that is slidably inserted into the opening and the inner end of which can be plugged into the tooth groove on the rotating gear, a brake baffle plate that is fixedly arranged on the brake rod, and a brake spring that is arranged between the brake baffle plate and the inner wall of the cover shell.

[0008] The present invention clamps a microscope stand by means of a clamping claw, and the microscope may be any microscope in the prior art having a clampable stand, such as a connecting crossbeam on an OLYMPUSBX43 for assembling an eyepiece and an objective lens. The turntable is connected by means of a steering sleeve so that the posture of a video / video device clamped by a fixed frame can be adjusted in a horizontal plane. The first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod adjust the position of the video / video device by telescoping, and the ball hinge further adjusts the tilt posture of the video / video device, so that the video / video device can be accurately placed at the eyepiece of the microscope to observe and record the microscope imaging.

[0038] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0039] Example:

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A device for observing and recording microscope images shown in the figure comprises a clamping jaw 1 for clamping a microscope stand, a turntable 2 arranged on the clamping jaw 1, a first telescopic rod 3 erected on the turntable 2, a steering sleeve 4 arranged at the end of the first telescopic rod 3, a second telescopic rod 5 arranged on the steering sleeve 4, a ball hinge 6 arranged at the end of the second telescopic rod 5, a fixing frame assembly arranged on the ball hinge 6, and a camera / video recording device arranged on the fixing frame assembly;

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the turntable 2 includes a rotating gear 7 which is rotatably arranged on the clamping jaw 1 and coaxially rotatably connected with the first telescopic rod 3, a cover shell 8 which is fixedly arranged on the clamping jaw 1 and covers the rotating gear 7, an opening formed in the side wall of the cover shell 8, a brake rod 9 which is slidably arranged in the opening and the inner end of which can be plugged into and cooperate with the tooth groove on the rotating gear 7, a brake baffle 10 which is fixedly arranged on the brake rod 9, and a brake spring 11 which is arranged between the brake baffle 10 and the inner wall of the cover shell 8.

[0042] In this embodiment, the microscope stand is clamped by the clamping claw 1, and the microscope can be any microscope with a clampable stand in the prior art, such as the connecting beam on the OLYMPUSBX43 for assembling the eyepiece and the objective lens. The approximate direction of the camera / video device clamped by the fixed frame is adjusted in the horizontal plane by the turntable 2. The first telescopic rod 3 and the second telescopic rod 5 are connected and telescopically adjusted to the longitudinal position and the lateral position of the camera / video device by the steering sleeve 4. The ball hinge 6 further adjusts the tilt posture of the camera / video device, so that it can be accurately placed at the eyepiece of the microscope to observe and record the microscope imaging.

[0043] Specifically, the rotation angle of the turntable 2 is adjusted and fixed by the rotating gear 7 and the brake plug 9. The rotating gear 7 is arranged on the clamping claw 1 through the rotating shaft and connected with the first telescopic rod 3 to adjust the rotation angle. At the same time, the brake plug 9 pointing to the tooth groove of the rotating gear 7 can be inserted into the tooth groove under the elastic driving force of the brake spring 11 to fix the rotation angle of the rotating gear 7, and can also be released from the tooth groove to make it rotate freely.
