Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of optical imaging, and in particular relates to a probe-type imaging Raman coupling device. Background Art

[0002] The imaging Raman coupling device is an advanced detection technology that combines Raman spectroscopy and imaging technologies to simultaneously provide information on the chemical composition and spatial distribution of a sample. Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive testing technology that determines the chemical composition, structure, and state of a sample by measuring the sample's scattering spectrum of incident light. Imaging technology can capture image information on the sample surface, thereby obtaining the sample's morphological characteristics. The combination of these two technologies makes the imaging Raman coupling device a powerful tool widely used in fields such as materials science, biology, medicine, and chemical engineering. Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive molecular structure analysis method that obtains information on molecular vibration and rotation by detecting the frequency changes of scattered light generated by the interaction of incident light with matter. With the development of science and technology, Raman spectroscopy has gradually been combined with other imaging technologies to form an imaging Raman coupling device, which can achieve high-resolution imaging of the distribution of chemical composition on the sample surface.

[0003] An imaging Raman coupling device typically consists of a light source, a Raman spectrometer, an imaging system, and a sample stage. The light source emits laser light of a specific wavelength onto the sample, stimulating Raman scattering signals. The Raman spectrometer collects and interprets these scattered signals. The imaging system converts these signals into image information, enabling spatially resolved analysis of the sample's surface chemical composition. Key challenges include: To accurately capture Raman signals, the probe must maintain stable contact with the sample surface. However, in practice, uneven sample surfaces can lead to poor contact, affecting the accuracy of measurement results. Conventional probes struggle to adapt to samples with significant variations in surface hardness, limiting the application of imaging Raman coupling devices. To ensure good contact, operators often need to manually adjust the probe's position and pressure, increasing experimental difficulty and uncertainty. Due to unstable contact, measurement results in different areas can vary significantly due to varying contact conditions, reducing data consistency and reliability. Utility Model Content

[0055] Nonlinear deformation of elastic deformation elements is achieved by:

[0056] Nonlinear deformation of elastic deformable elements can be achieved by designing special geometric shapes.

[0073] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the deformation element 17 also has a surface coating.

[0074] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, a second embodiment of a probe-type imaging Raman coupling device provided by the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, the device includes an imaging Raman coupling probe 10, a protective housing 20, a light source 30, a Raman spectrometer 40, and an industrial camera 50. The imaging Raman coupling probe 10 includes a microscope lens 11, a Raman fiber interface 13, an image acquisition interface 14, an image light source interface 15, and an axial fine-tuning structure 16.

A global shutter allows for rapid exposure, with minimum pixel sizes of up to 2.7 microns or 3.45 microns. When used with a telecentric lens assembly, optical resolutions of up to 500 nanometers can be achieved.

[0082] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, for multiple bellows, the position of each bellows should be kept at a certain distance relative to the central axis of the probe front opening to ensure that the bellows can deform freely according to the changes in the sample surface:

[0083] When multiple bellows are used, a symmetrical arrangement can be adopted to enhance the adaptability and stability of the device. When multiple bellows are used, each bellows should be connected by an independent positioning mechanism to ensure that each bellows can independently adapt to changes in the sample surface.

[0084] Symmetrical arrangement: Multiple bellows can be arranged symmetrically around the probe tip opening. For example, the bellows can be arranged in a circular pattern, with each bellow located at the same distance from the center bellows (if present). This arrangement can more evenly distribute the contact force on the sample surface.

[0085] In the above technical solution, the deformation element 17 is specifically a bellows, and the shape of the deformation element 17 is designed to be nonlinearly deformed.

[0086] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the deformable element 17 includes a positioning mechanism 171, which includes a center rod and a spring.

[0088] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the outer contour of the deformation element 17 is one of a wave shape, a spiral shape and a ring shape.

[0089] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, an opening is provided at the front end of the imaging Raman coupling probe 10, and the opening diameter is between 1-10 mm.

[0091] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the axial fine-tuning structure 16 includes a microscopic focus fine-tuning button and imaging optical path and Raman optical path fine-tuning buttons.

[0096] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the deformation element 17 also has a surface coating.

[0097] Specifically, the principle of the present utility model is:

[0098] Design and working principle of elastic deformation element:

[0099] Elastic deformation elements are designed based on special elastic materials (bellows). These materials are characterized by their ability to reversibly deform when subjected to external forces and return to their original shape after the external force is removed. Specifically, the elastic deformation element in this utility model mainly includes the following key parts:

[0100] Elastic elements: Made of materials with a high elastic modulus, such as spring steel or certain polymer materials. This material can produce appropriate deformation when subjected to external forces within a certain range, while maintaining sufficient strength to avoid permanent deformation;

[0101] Contact end: Located at one end of the elastic element, it directly contacts the sample surface. The design of the contact end needs to take into account the characteristics of different sample surfaces, such as hardness and roughness, so that good contact can be formed under various conditions;

[0102] Fixed end: connected to other components of the imaging Raman coupling device to ensure the stability of the elastic element;

[0103] When the elastically deformable element contacts the sample surface, it automatically adjusts its deformation based on the surface's hardness and shape to ensure optimal contact pressure between the contact tip and the sample. This automatic adjustment mechanism not only reduces operator error but also effectively improves measurement accuracy and repeatability.
