Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical imaging, and in particular to a system and method for rapid focusing in combination with a Raman laser spot. Background Art

[0002] In Raman confocal microscopy, achieving fast and accurate autofocus is the key to improving imaging quality and efficiency.

[0003] Traditional Raman confocal systems rely on complex mechanical adjustments and preset focusing modes for automatic focusing. These methods have limitations in speed and accuracy, such as: ① Automatic focusing method based on image grayscale: This method collects multiple images and analyzes the grayscale distribution of the images to determine the focusing state; It requires the acquisition and processing of multiple images, has a complex algorithm, and cannot give the defocus direction and distance based on just one image, making it unsuitable for high-speed real-time systems.

[0004] ② Cylindrical lens and four-quadrant detector method: This method determines the focusing state by changing the shape of the reflected light spot; It is greatly affected by ambient light, and its focusing precision and accuracy are not ideal.

[0005] In order to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned automatic focusing mode, the prior art proposes a solution to achieve automatic focusing with the help of laser technology, for example: ① An automatic positioning method based on the spot area: through the introduction of the structure of the laser focusing lens, laser ranging and other technologies are used to calculate and locate the spot area; However, in laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technology, due to the different thicknesses and surface flatness of the samples to be measured, the relative distance between the laser focusing lens and the sample surface will vary greatly, ultimately affecting the stability and accuracy of the measurement results.

[0006] ② There is also a laser confocal system that can accurately locate and read optical signals of tiny targets. The system needs to automatically focus to obtain a clear image, thereby further acquiring information about tiny targets. However, since the target is tiny, in order to see the tiny target clearly, the objective lens is usually more than 50 times; the imaging area of ​​the objective lens at this magnification is small, the depth of field is small, and it is very easy to be out of focus, so it is necessary to perform multiple automatic focusing when the field of view is changed or when working for a long time, which is cumbersome to operate.

[0007] In summary, the current automatic focusing adjustment methods, whether manual adjustment, mechanical adjustment, adjustment based on the imaging clarity of the sample surface, or adjustment using a laser rangefinder, are not very accurate and are greatly affected by the surface characteristics of the sample; in application scenarios that require rapid switching of focus or imaging in a dynamic environment, the above-mentioned existing technical solutions are difficult to meet the requirements of high efficiency and high precision. Summary of the invention

[0008] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a system and method for rapid focusing in combination with a Raman laser spot, which overcomes the defects of the automatic focusing method in the prior art that is complex and inefficient, and greatly improves the focusing speed and accuracy of the optical imaging system.

[0009] A system and method for rapid focusing in combination with a Raman laser spot, wherein: In a first aspect, a system for rapid focusing in combination with a Raman laser spot comprises: Spectral excitation optical path, spectral receiving optical path, imaging optical path and control system; As an example, the spectral excitation light path, the spectral receiving light path and the imaging light path together constitute a Raman focusing light path.

[0010] The spectral excitation optical path includes: a laser, a dichroic mirror, an objective lens and a light shield; As an example, the color of the laser beam emitted by the laser is green.

[0011] The spectrum receiving optical path includes: an optical fiber, a spectrum detector, and a reflector; the spectrum detector transmits the collected spectrum data to a computer; As an example, the spectrum detector adopts: a spectrometer; The imaging optical path includes: a beam splitter and an imaging detector; the imaging detector transmits the collected image data to a computer; the computer is electrically connected to the controller to form signal communication; As an example, the imaging detector adopts: a CMOS camera.

[0012] As an example, the imaging optical path realizes the position imaging of the Raman spot through the architecture design of the splitting optical path, and the position imaging and the imaging size are used to perform aggregation judgment.

[0013] The control system includes: a computer, a controller, an XY stage and a Z-axis displacement mechanism.

[0014] Further, the reflector is arranged on the left side of the optical fiber, and the optical fiber is arranged on the left side of the spectrum detector; the dichroic mirror is arranged directly below the reflector; The laser is arranged on the right side of the dichroic mirror, and the light shielding plate is arranged at a position slightly below the middle of the laser and the dichroic mirror; The beam splitter is arranged directly below the dichroic mirror, and the imaging detector is arranged on the right side of the dichroic mirror; The objective lens is arranged directly below the beam splitter; an XY stage is arranged below the objective lens, a Z-axis displacement mechanism is arranged below the XY stage, and the XY stage is used for placing a glass slide.

[0015] As an example, the glass slide is used to store the sample to be tested.

[0016] As an example, the specification of the slide is preferably: 75*25mm.

[0017] As an example, the test targets in the sample include cells, bacteria and particles, and the minimum size of the test target can be 0.5 μm.

[0018] In a second aspect, a method for rapid focusing in combination with a Raman laser spot is provided, wherein rapid focusing is achieved through an automatic focusing process, including: Step 1: Preparation for fitting and calibration of the best focal plane; The slide is placed on the XY stage, and the image data detected by the imaging detector is obtained in real time by the computer; As an example, when performing fitting calibration of the best focal plane, the slide may contain a sample or be blank.

[0019] Step 2: Judgment basis of the aggregation fitting process; ① When the Z-axis displacement mechanism is at the optimal gathering position Z f hour; At this time, the image data obtained by the computer is: a green laser spot, which is circular in shape, has the largest radius and the smallest area; ② When the Z-axis displacement mechanism is at the optimal gathering position Z f When above ; At this time, the image data obtained by the computer is: a green laser spot, which is in the shape of a left semicircle and has a larger area; ③ When the Z-axis displacement mechanism is at the optimal gathering position Z f When below ; At this time, the image data obtained by the computer is: a green laser spot, which is in the shape of a right semicircle and has a larger area; Step 3: Setting of the aggregation fitting process; ① Collect image data sequences at different Z-axis displacement mechanism height positions; The height positions of the Z-axis displacement mechanism are respectively: Z0, Z1...Zn, and the green laser spot area corresponding to each height position to obtain image data is: S0, S1...Sn; As an example, during the focus fitting calculation, the computer will obtain a camera image by collecting images at different positions of the Z axis. Due to the Raman laser, a green spot appears in the image. The area of ​​the green laser spot is calculated to be S0, S1...Sn. The area of ​​the green laser spot calculated by collecting the image at the first position of the Z axis is S0.

[0020] Since the fitting calculation uses a quadratic polynomial, theoretically, collecting 4 images with different Z axes can be used for fitting calculation. In order to fit more accurately, this application collects 8 images with different Z axes and calculates the area S value. At this time, n=7, Sn=S7.

[0021] ② When the green laser spot area is the smallest, the corresponding height position is recorded as Z f , the area is recorded as: S f ; ③ Relative Z0...Zn to Z f The position difference is recorded as a Y sequence: Y0...Yn; As an example, in the Y sequence: Y0=Z0-Z f , Yn=Zn-Z f ; ④ Relative green laser spot area S0...Sn to S f The area difference is recorded as X sequence: X0...Xn; As an example, in the X sequence, X0=S0-S f ,Xn=S n -S f .

[0022] ⑤ Establish a mapping from the X sequence to the Y sequence, obtain the aggregation: Y=f(X), and perform fitting calculation; As an example, the mapping is fitted using the least squares method, and the fitting formula is designed as follows: ; According to the least squares principle: ,

[0023] The coefficients a2, a1, and a0 can be solved.

[0024] As an example, the fitting calculation is not limited to the fitting of a quadratic polynomial, but may also be a cubic spline interpolation.

[0025] Step 4: After the fitting calculation is completed, the fitting formula is stored in the computer system; in actual work, when the field of view is switched or the working time in the same field of view exceeds the time threshold, the computer system issues a command to start the above-mentioned automatic focusing process to achieve rapid focusing.

[0026] As an example, the automatic focusing process is: collect the laser Raman image of the test target, and calculate the real-time green laser spot area as: X now , X now Input aggregation Y=f(X), get aggregation Y now , move the Z-axis displacement mechanism relative to the gathering Y now Location is fine.

[0027] As an example, the time threshold refers to a waiting time value scientifically set according to actual usage. The time threshold can be adjusted and updated according to the usage environment.

[0028] In a third aspect, the present application shows a non-temporary computer-readable storage medium, when the instructions in the storage medium are executed by a processor of an electronic device, the electronic device is enabled to execute the method described in any of the above aspects.

[0029] In a fourth aspect, the present application illustrates a computer program product. When instructions in the computer program product are executed by a processor of an electronic device, the electronic device is enabled to execute the method described in any of the above aspects.

[0030] Beneficial effects of the present invention: This method only needs to read the laser spot image at the current position to perform focusing calculations. Previous methods require moving multiple Z-axis steps and performing image acquisition and image clarity calculations before achieving one focusing. Therefore, the technical solution of this application greatly improves the automatic focusing efficiency, which is of great significance for various applications that require Raman stitching and mapping.

[0031] The present invention has fast automatic focusing, timely response, time saving, higher efficiency than the prior art, stable and reliable operation, and is suitable for popularization and application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0043] As an example, the test targets in the sample include cells, bacteria and particles, and the minimum size of the test target can be 0.5 μm.

[0044] In a second aspect, a method for rapid focusing in combination with a Raman laser spot is provided, wherein rapid focusing is achieved through an automatic focusing process, including: Step 1: Preparation for fitting and calibration of the best focal plane; The slide is placed on the XY stage 12, and the image data detected by the imaging detector 9 is obtained in real time by the computer 10; As an example, when performing fitting calibration of the best focal plane, the slide may contain a sample or be blank.

[0049] The coefficients a2, a1, and a0 can be solved.

[0050] As an example, the fitting calculation is not limited to the fitting of a quadratic polynomial, but may also be a cubic spline interpolation.

[0051] Step 4: After the fitting calculation is completed, the fitting formula is stored in the computer 10 system; in actual work, when the field of view is switched or the working time in the same field of view exceeds the time threshold, the computer system issues an instruction to start the above-mentioned automatic focusing process to achieve fast focusing.
