Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cell culture accessories, in particular to a multifunctional cell sphere culture observation device and an observation and shooting method. Background Art
[0002] Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture is an experimental technique that simulates the in-vivo cell microenvironment. It allows cells to grow and differentiate in three-dimensional space. Compared with two-dimensional (2D) cell culture, 3D culture is closer to the physiological state of a real organism. In 3D culture, cells can form complex structures such as spheroids and organoids, which are of great value in studying cell behavior, drug screening, organ development, and disease models. Among them, the 3D tumor sphere cell model has become a powerful tool for studying tumor biology and drug response. Compared with traditional two-dimensional cell culture models, these multicellular aggregates better reproduce the complex microenvironment and heterogeneity of solid tumors, exhibit gradients of oxygen, nutrients, and metabolites, and simulate the pathophysiological processes of primary tumors. Therefore, they are of great value in studying tumor growth, invasion, and response to treatment. Organoids are more complex three-dimensional structure miniature tissues cultured in vitro. They not only contain multiple types of cells but also simulate a part of the corresponding organ or tissue in terms of structure and function. Organoids can be formed from stem cells or mature cells through a self-organization process to form 3D cell spheres, and they show great potential in simulating organ development, disease model construction, and personalized medicine.
[0003] Characterizing the morphology and volume of three-dimensional (3D) growing cells is crucial for understanding their growth kinetics and evaluating treatment effects. Typically, it is assumed that 3D growing cells are perfect spheres or have centrosymmetric or axisymmetric morphologies. Researchers usually estimate the volume by measuring the bottom diameter. However, this method is clearly not applicable to cell models with complex 3D structures of spheres and has low generality, and can only be used to measure 3D cell models with relatively simple shapes. More accurate volume calculations can be performed by directly measuring the thickness, which can better restore the non-uniform morphology and true size of 3D cells. For the growth of 3D cell spheres, their length, width, and height changes are basically logarithmic growth. Once the sphere exceeds the critical diameter (usually >500 microns), it enters the steady state of volume growth. At this point, oxygen and nutrients diffuse into the core of the sphere, greatly limiting the growth of the 3D cell sphere, and the 3D cell sphere cannot grow indefinitely. If the size changes of 3D cells in the z-direction height can be further measured, it can provide a more sensitive growth arrest reading than the lengths in the x- and y-directions. In addition to monitoring the growth of 3D cell spheres, the migration of 3D cell spheres and the fusion process between 3D cell spheres are also difficult to observe non-invasively and in real-time in situ by conventional observation methods. If the embedding and staining observations are carried out after the migration and fusion of 3D cells are completed, it will greatly affect the original structure of the cell sphere and cannot observe the specific change process.
[0004] Currently, the optical microscopes used in the laboratory have great limitations in quantifying the complex 3D structures of spheres. When measuring the stereoscopic morphology of 3D cell spheres based on two dimensions, the mutual occlusion of semi-transparent cells hinders the measurement of the image thickness in the z-direction. Confocal imaging can optically section the sphere, generate 3D reconstruction images, and by fluorescently labeling the cells, the thickness and diameter can be directly measured from the cross-sectional view. However, light scattering and absorption limit the imaging depth, making it challenging to resolve the core of large spheres (>300 microns).
[0005] Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses low-coherence light to create cross-sectional images of tissue structures and can measure the thickness and diameter even in large spheres. Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) is another emerging technology that uses a thin light sheet to illuminate the sample, can quickly perform 3D imaging of the entire sphere, and measure the thickness and diameter through 3D reconstruction. However, LSFM requires specialized equipment and may be limited by light scattering in the dense sphere core. For the above-mentioned 3D imaging methods of the stereostructure of 3D cells, it is very difficult to monitor the real-time in situ 3D structural changes of 3D cells. Summary of the Utility Model

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model, and should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.
[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 , in the first aspect, the present utility model provides a multifunctional cell sphere culture observation device, including a culture dish, a support device, a mirror 1 and a microscope 2. The support device includes an outer dish control handle 3 and an inner dish mirror fixing part 4; the microscope 2 is arranged below the culture dish, the outer dish control handle 3 is arranged on the top of the culture dish, the inner dish mirror fixing part 4 is arranged inside the culture dish, the mirror 1 is clamped with the inner dish mirror fixing part 4 and is located on the side of the inner dish mirror fixing part 4 away from the outer dish control handle 3; the inner dish mirror fixing part 4 has a notch 5, the notch 5 is located on the side away from the outer dish control handle 3, the culture dish includes a culture dish bottom 6 and a culture dish cover 7, the culture dish bottom 6 is arranged above the microscope 2, and the culture dish cover 7 is clamped with the culture dish bottom 6 and is located on the top of the culture dish bottom 6.
[0031] In this embodiment, the in-dish mirror fixing member 4 is used to clamp the mirror 1, and the in-dish mirror fixing member 4 and the out-dish control handle 3 are placed on both sides of the culture dish cover 7 and fixed by magnets. When photographing the side of the sample, a side shooting light source (non-microscope light source) is provided to the culture dish bottom 6, and the image of the sample is reflected by the mirror 1 to the microscope 2. The objective lens focal length of the microscope 2 is adjusted so that a clear image of the sample is shown in the mirror 1, and the side of the sample is obtained. This observation can be carried out on three-dimensional cells from multiple angles through a conventional laboratory microscope 2 without expensive facilities and equipment, realizing non-invasive in-situ monitoring of the side of the three-dimensional cell sphere (since the support device and the mirror 1 are both placed in the culture environment and do not need to be repeatedly taken, which may cause displacement of the sample and the photographing device); it is realized that the device does not need to repeatedly open and close the culture dish cover when photographing the side of the three-dimensional cell sphere, greatly reducing the probability of its contamination (once the support device and the mirror 1 are installed, it may not be necessary to open the culture dish cover 7); the volume of the multi-functional cell sphere culture and multi-angle observation device is greatly reduced, and it can be adapted to a smaller cell monitoring platform and a narrow environment with more position restrictions for observing and photographing the side of three-dimensional cells.

The support device is placed at the central void position of the ultra-low adhesion microporous array culture dish. Through the reflection of the coated mirror 1 on the side surface of the support device, the side morphological changes of the three-dimensional cells are reflected by the coated mirror, and then the microscope 2 is used to observe the image in the coated mirror to take pictures of the side image of the three-dimensional cell sample.
