[0022] according to Figure 1-6 As shown, an inverted microscope multicolor fluorescent lighting device includes a shell 27 installed on the microscope, a lamp room assembly and a color filter assembly are arranged in the shell 27, the lamp room assembly includes a plurality of lamp rooms fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the shell 27, the irradiation directions of the plurality of lamp rooms are all different, the color filter assembly includes a plurality of color filter blocks fixedly mounted on a turntable 7, the number of the color filter blocks is equal to the number of the lamp rooms, a plurality of photoelectric switches are arranged on the inner wall of the shell 27 at positions corresponding to the color filter blocks, and by shielding the corresponding photoelectric switches, the LED lights on the lamp rooms illuminate the corresponding color filter blocks.

[0023] In the above specific embodiment, when it is necessary to switch the light path, the turntable 7 is rotated to make the filter block required for observation correspond to the corresponding lamp room, and by rotating the turntable 7, the photoelectric switch corresponding to the lamp room can be blocked, so that the required lamp room is lit. The light path conversion is convenient and the cost is low. The lamp room assembly is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the shell 27. The number of lamp rooms is the same as the number of filter blocks. In the process of switching the light path, it is only necessary to adjust the position of the filter block by rotating the adjustment knob 1, thereby reducing the size of the lighting device. The lamp room is installed at different positions of the shell 27, so that the lamp room irradiates in different directions, which is convenient for heat dissipation of the device.

[0024] The turntable 7 is mounted on the support 29 via a bearing 8, a first gear 4 is fixedly mounted on the turntable 7 via bolts, the first gear 4 is transmission-connected to the third gear 6 via a second gear 5, the third gear 6 is connected to the adjustment knob 1 via a rotating shaft, and the adjustment knob 1 is mounted on the outside of the end cover 2.

[0025] The lamp chamber assembly includes a first lamp chamber 17 and a third lamp chamber 19 with opposite irradiation directions, and a second lamp chamber 18 with a certain angle to the irradiation direction of the first lamp chamber 17. Compared with the traditional parallel installation of lamp chambers, this installation position of the lamp chambers reduces the volume of the device.

[0026] The color filter assembly includes a first color filter block 9, a second color filter block 10 and a third color filter block 11. The turntable 7 is also provided with a bright field tube 16. The first color filter block 9, the second color filter block 10, the third color filter block 11 and the bright field tube 16 are equidistantly installed on the turntable 7 with the pillar 29 as the center, so that the lighting device has three fluorescence modes and one bright field mode, thereby increasing the applicability of the device.

The sample emits fluorescence after being irradiated, and passes through the dichroic mirror and emission sheet in the first color filter block 9 to enter the eyepiece for observation. Rotate the adjustment knob 1 to the position shown in the figure. Figure 5The second fluorescent mode is shown, the second photoelectric switch 14 is blocked by the light shielding sheet, triggering the corresponding LED light of the first lamp chamber 17 to light up, and rotating the adjustment knob 1 to Figure 6 As shown, the third photoelectric switch 15 is blocked by the light shielding sheet 12, triggering the corresponding LED light of the second lamp chamber 18 to light up.
