Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of full-automatic optical microscope equipment, in particular to an automatic identification and counting system for microscope oil boxes. Background Art

[0002] When using a high-power objective lens to observe a slide under an optical microscope, it is often necessary to drip immersion oil on the slide so that the oil is immersed between the objective lens and the cover glass. The purpose is to use immersion oil as the observation medium to reduce the scattering of light, thereby reducing chromatic aberration, enhancing the brightness of the field of view, and making the image clearer. Therefore, in the equipment of automated optical microscopes with oil immersion lens applications, immersion oil storage devices are often required.

[0003] Existing microscope oil storage devices generally use oil bottles or oil boxes, and the oil box only has the function of storing oil. The oil volume is generally counted by software based on the number of times it is used. There are mainly the following problems: First, a brand new oil box must be used, and it is impossible to plug and use it midway and update the oil volume in real time; second, after replacing the oil box, on the one hand, it is impossible to identify the replacement oil box, and the quality of the oil cannot be guaranteed, which affects the microscope imaging. On the other hand, the oil volume can only be re-estimated and set. The estimated and statistical oil volume is inaccurate and cannot meet the needs of experimenters to use and replace the oil box conveniently and quickly. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a microscope oil box automatic recognition and counting system with unique identification of the oil box and the oil box's own record of the oil volume.
