Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of optical imaging technology, and particularly to a wide-field, wide-bandwidth tilt microscopic imaging defocus correction device and method. Background Art

[0002] Optical imaging has become an indispensable technical means and tool in modern industry, life, technology, etc. In conventional optical imaging, the imaging object plane is generally perpendicular to the optical axis of the imaging system. However, in some practical applications, such as surface plasmon resonance imaging, total internal reflection imaging, ellipsometry imaging, polarization-dependent imaging, etc., the optical axis of the imaging system forms an inclined angle with the imaging object plane. At this time, due to the limited depth of field of the imaging lens, when performing wide-field imaging, it will cause the object plane to be defocused, resulting in blurred imaging, and different magnification ratios at different depths of field, resulting in image distortion. This problem is particularly significant in wide-field microscopic imaging. Since the larger the magnification of the objective lens, the smaller the depth of field, it is difficult to achieve high-magnification microscopic imaging in an inclined imaging system.

[0003] Currently, only an ordinary imaging lens cannot obtain good imaging effects in an inclined imaging system. Some existing solutions generally design imaging lenses based on Scheimpflug's law to achieve inclined imaging, as described in, for example, the publications with publication numbers CN201477280U, CN112269242A, CN115097605A, and JP201900741. However, this type of method has a complex lens structure design and requires a combination of multiple lenses to achieve a relatively good imaging effect. The processing cost is extremely high, making it difficult to promote and use. Moreover, most designs are not applicable to microscopic imaging, and the wider the imaging band, the greater the design difficulty.

[0004] The problem of defocus of the object field of view in inclined imaging can be corrected on the basis of an existing ordinary imaging lens through diffraction devices such as gratings. However, due to the wavelength dependence of the characteristics of diffraction devices, this solution is only applicable to defocus correction of monochromatic light inclined imaging and is limited in application in wide-bandwidth imaging. In addition, diffraction devices also have the problem of low diffraction efficiency, resulting in a decrease in light utilization rate. Summary of the Invention

The output of the image analysis and processing module is , which is a two-dimensional image of the imaging object without distortion. The method for distortion removal is: .

[0046] Among them, the total distortion correction matrix . Among them, The defocus correction module is used to correct the angular deflection of the optical axis of the incident optical path imaging module or the outgoing optical path imaging module caused by the image tilt projection distortion; The defocus correction module is used to correct the tangential stretching distortion caused by the non-coplanarity of the meridian plane of the off-axis parabolic mirror of the defocus correction module and the light incident surface or the light outgoing surface of the imaging object. Define the dihedral angle between the meridian plane of the off-axis parabolic mirror and the light incident surface or the light outgoing surface of the imaging object as , then the tilt projection distortion correction matrix and the tangential stretching distortion correction matrix are respectively: ; ; When the defocus correction module is adjusted to the ideal state, , at this time .

[0047] As Figure 7 shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the defocus correction module 300 is provided with only one off-axis parabolic mirror, that is, only the second off-axis parabolic mirror 302 and the mirror 304 are provided between the imaging object and the light output module. The light incident module 100 is an ordinary illumination module without imaging defocus problems, and the incident angle is 45°. It includes a light source 101 and a beam shaping module composed of a lens 102, a lens 103, a mirror 105, a mirror 106 and a lens 107.

[0048] Among them, the light source 101 is a white light LED lamp; both the lens 102 and the lens 103 are achromatic lenses, which are used to expand and collimate the output light of the light source 101; the mirrors 105 and 106 are plane mirrors, which are used to change the propagation direction of the light beam; the lens 107 is an achromatic lens, which is used to focus the collimated light beam onto the imaging object.

When the imaging tilt angle is 45°, after adopting the defocus correction module 300, within the wide field of view, all image areas are clear, indicating that the defocus problem of the field of view caused by tilted imaging is corrected; however, the second off-axis parabolic mirror 302 in the defocus correction module 300 introduces image distortion.

[0054] The imaging effect after the collected and output image is subjected to distortion correction by the image analysis and processing module is as Figure 9 shown. The distorted square pattern is restored after being processed by the distortion correction matrix .
