Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of confocal microscope instruments, and in particular relates to a dustproof shell for a turntable confocal module. Background Art
[0002] The spinning disk confocal microscope features fast imaging speed, high resolution, and low phototoxicity, making it a powerful tool for rapid three-dimensional imaging and long-term imaging of living cells. The core of the spinning disk module is the excitation and emission disks, which also contain lens assemblies and circuitry. Due to heat dissipation requirements, the turntable housing is usually equipped with at least two heat dissipation holes. During operation, the disk rotates at a high speed of 2000-4000rpm. The static electricity generated on the disk surface attracts dust from the environment that flows in through the heat dissipation holes. After a period of use, dust will accumulate not only on the disk module but also on the surface of the internal lens assembly. This dust will affect image quality to varying degrees, such as causing background circular spots, arc-shaped dark lines, or bright lines in the image.
[0003] Most spinning disk confocal microscopes in China are installed in public spaces, where high cleanliness levels are difficult to maintain. Engineers must clean the spinning disk module every two to three months to maintain image quality. This is labor-intensive and consumes machine time, impacting the normal operation of the equipment. The development of a spinning disk dust cover effectively reduces dust accumulation inside the module while ensuring heat dissipation, ensuring excellent imaging performance even after extended use.
