It can be understood that the light source assembly 3 is arranged below the clamping assembly 6 (i.e. Figure 1 The imaging collection component 2 is arranged above the clamping component 6 (i.e. Figure 1), the installation space 4 formed between the light source assembly 3 and the imaging acquisition assembly 2 is used to install the sample 8 to be tested, and the sample 8 to be tested is fixedly installed in the installation space 4 by the clamping assembly 6.

When the clamping screw 620 is screwed in the opposite direction, so that the clamping jaw 610 moves along the clamping screw 620 and moves away from the sample 8 to be tested on the carrier 7, the pressure of the clamping spring 630 sleeved on the clamping screw 620 will gradually decrease. At this time, the pressure of the clamping jaw 610 on the sample 8 to be tested decreases. At this time, the clamping screw 620 is continuously screwed. When the clamping spring 630 is no longer compressed, the pressure of the clamping jaw 610 on the sample 8 to be tested decreases to close to 0, that is, the sample 8 to be tested is released by the clamping jaw 610. At this time, the sample 8 to be tested can be taken out.

When it is necessary to perform focusing operation on the imaging acquisition component 2, if the focusing screw 130 is tightened, the mounting plate 110 moves along the focusing screw 130 toward the limiting hole 510, and the imaging acquisition component 2 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 110 is driven away from the light source component 3 (that is, away from the sample to be tested 8 arranged above the light source component 3), so that the distance between the imaging acquisition component 2 and the sample to be tested 8 gradually increases; if the focusing screw 130 is loosened, the mounting plate 110 moves along the focusing screw 130 in the direction away from the limiting hole 510, and the imaging acquisition component 2 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 110 is driven close to the light source component 3 (that is, close to the sample to be tested 8 arranged above the light source component 3), so that the distance between the imaging acquisition component 2 and the sample to be tested 8 gradually decreases, thereby achieving the focusing effect of the imaging acquisition component 2; when performing the focusing operation in the above embodiment, during the up and down movement of the mounting plate 110, the compression spring 140 is always pressed The compression connection is between the end of the mounting plate 110 away from the imaging acquisition component 2 and the edge of the limiting hole 510. When the distance between the mounting plate 110 and the limiting hole 510 is reduced, the compression spring 140 can adjust the moving speed of the imaging acquisition component 2 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 110 to remain stable, avoid excessive jitter of the imaging acquisition component 2 during movement and affect the cell imaging quality, and can also play a certain protective role for the electronic components in the imaging acquisition component 2; and when the distance between the mounting plate 110 and the limiting hole 510 increases, the compression spring 140 can assist in stably pushing the mounting plate 110 downward through its own elastic force (if the compression spring 140 is not present, it is difficult to maintain a precise and stable downward pushing speed of the focusing screw 130 for the mounting plate 110), thereby causing the imaging acquisition component 2 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 110 to move downward at a stable speed. The provision of the compression spring 140 improves the efficiency and accuracy of the focusing operation.

It can be understood that, as Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment, the shell 5 is provided with two guide spaces 530 located on opposite sides of the accommodating space 520, and the focusing assembly 1 and the imaging acquisition assembly 2 are installed in the accommodating space 520, and the focusing assembly 1 also includes a plurality of guide columns 150, and the plurality of guide columns 150 are respectively installed in the two guide spaces 530; the mounting plate 110 is horizontally arranged in the accommodating space 520, and the opposite ends of the mounting plate 110 extend into the two guide spaces 530 respectively, so that guide holes 1110 are respectively provided at the two end positions of the guide space 530 on the mounting plate 110 and at the positions opposite to the guide columns 150, corresponding to each other. Furthermore, a top opening is provided on the shell 5, and the top opening is detachably connected to the top cover, and the top opening is arranged opposite to the guide space 530 and the accommodating space 520. At this time, the bottom end of the guide column 150 can be directly fixedly installed on the bottom of the guide space 530, and the top end is arranged opposite to the top opening. In this way, the guide column 150 is fixedly installed in the guide space 530, and the mounting plate 110 can be inserted from the top opening, and after the guide hole 1110 is aligned with the guide column 150 and inserted, the mounting plate is installed in the guide space 530 and the accommodating space 520. At this time, the guide hole 1110 is aligned with the guide column 150 for clearance fit, and the mounting plate 110 can move up and down along the guide column 150. Further, the number of guide posts 150 can be set to multiple according to the requirements, for example, it can be 2 or 4 guide posts 150 arranged in parallel, and the multiple guide posts 150 are all arranged in parallel with the focusing screw 130, and the multiple guide posts 150 can also be arranged symmetrically with the focusing screw 130 as the symmetry axis, and the focusing screw 130 can be set at the center of the mounting plate 110. When the focusing component 1 performs a focusing operation on the imaging acquisition component 2, when the focusing screw 130 is turned, the guide post 150 can guide the mounting plate 110 when it moves up or down along the focusing screw 130, and can also make the up and down movement speed of the mounting plate 110 stable, thereby synchronously adjusting the stable adjustment of the distance between the imaging acquisition component 2 and the sample to be measured.

[0045] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the imaging acquisition component 2 includes a camera body 210, a lens 220 mounted on the camera body 210, and a camera circuit board 230 connected between the camera body 210 and the focusing component 1. The end of the camera body 210 away from the lens 220 is mounted on the camera circuit board 230, and a camera connection terminal 240 is mounted on the end face of the circuit board away from the camera body 210. It can be understood that the camera body 210 is connected to the focusing component 1 through the camera circuit board 230, and the end face of the camera circuit board 230 away from the camera body 210 is fixedly connected to the focusing component 1, so that the distance between the lens 220 and the sample 8 to be tested can be adjusted along with the focusing component 1. The camera connection terminal 240 is mounted on the end face of the camera circuit board 230 away from the camera body 210, and the camera connection terminal 240 is used to connect the camera data line to save and transmit the cell imaging data captured by the imaging acquisition component 2, or to connect the driving power supply.

In this way, the connecting rod is connected between the bottom wall of the mounting plate 110 and the camera circuit board 230, and a heat dissipation space is formed between the mounting plate 110 and the camera circuit board 230 to facilitate the heat dissipation of the camera circuit board 230 during operation, and the camera circuit board 240 is just located in the heat dissipation space. The supporting effect of the connecting rod can prevent the mounting plate 110 and the camera circuit board 230 from squeezing the camera circuit board 240. Therefore, the setting of the connecting rod can not only realize the fixed connection between the imaging acquisition assembly 2 and the focusing assembly 1, but also ensure that there is a certain distance between the camera circuit board 230 and the focusing assembly 1 to prevent the camera circuit board 230 and the camera circuit board 240 from being damaged by collision, squeezing, etc. during the focusing process, and it is also convenient for heat dissipation.

[0047] Furthermore, the number of the connecting rods can be set according to demand, for example, four connecting rods are set, and the four connecting rods are arranged in parallel and symmetrically at the four corners of the camera circuit board 230 to ensure the stability of the connection between the camera circuit board 230 and the mounting plate 110.
