[0029] In the description of the utility model, it needs to be understood that the terms "mounting", "connection", "connection" should be understood broadly unless otherwise specified and limited, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be connected inside two elements. For ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] Reference will be made below Figures 1-5 The adapter 100 for the microscope stage adapter according to the embodiments of the utility model is described.

[0031] As Figures 1-5 As shown in the adapter 100 for the microscope stage adapter according to the embodiments of the utility model, the microscope stage adapter (not shown in the figure) can have a mounting groove (not shown in the figure), and the groove bottom of the mounting groove can have a through opening (not shown in the figure). It needs to be noted that in the traditional sample observation, the operator needs to place the sample on a glass slide, and then perform a pressing operation with a cover glass, or use nail polish, mounting agent, etc. for mounting, and finally place the whole in the mounting groove. Light can be irradiated to the sample through the through opening, which is beneficial to realize the imaging of the sample.

[0032] The adapter 100 can be installed in the mounting groove, which can realize the filling of the space in the mounting groove, is beneficial to reduce the space in the mounting groove, and is convenient for placing a small-size sample stage (such as a cover glass or a high-throughput glass slide culture dish). The adapter 100 can include a support plate 10 and two limiting bosses 20, and the two limiting bosses 20 can be arranged on the opposite sides of the support plate 10 (such as Figure 1(as shown on the left and right sides), and the two limiting protrusions 20 can protrude from the surface of the support plate 10 respectively, so that the two limiting protrusions 20 can cooperate to define an accommodating space 40 between the support plate 10 and the two limiting protrusions 20 for placing a light-transmitting sample stage (not shown in the figure).

[0033] Among them, the two limiting protrusions 20 can be respectively positioned on opposite sides of the sample stage (e.g., Figure 1 The left and right sides (as shown) are in contact, which can limit the position of the sample stage. The middle part of the support plate 10 can have a light-transmitting port 11, which can correspond to the position of the through port, that is, the light-transmitting port 11 can be connected to the through port. The accommodating space 40 can be connected to the light-transmitting port 11, and a sample can be placed on the sample stage. Light can pass through the through port, the light-transmitting port 11 and the sample stage in sequence to irradiate the sample, which is beneficial to realize the imaging of the sample.

[0034] It should be explained that for special samples that are not suitable for slide pressing (such as materials, fibers, and different plant tissues), the special sample can be placed directly on the coverslip for imaging. Although microscope manufacturers provide a set of multiple microscope stage adapters of different sizes for confocal or super-resolution instruments, multiple microscope stage adapters can only be used to fit different sized slides. Furthermore, since the size of the existing coverslip is much smaller than the size of the existing slide, if the coverslip is placed directly on any microscope stage adapter, the coverslip is very likely to fall off at the opening of the microscope stage adapter.

[0035] Therefore, compared with traditional sample observation, by setting the adapter 100 on the microscope stage adapter, the operator does not need to place the special sample on the slide and then perform the slide pressing operation, and the operator does not need to change the microscope stage adapter for the special sample. That is, the operator can directly place the coverslip with the special sample on the adapter 100 to achieve imaging of the special sample, thereby improving the compatibility of samples and achieving stable imaging of different types of samples.

[0036] According to the present invention, an adapter 100 for a microscope stage adapter allows operators to place special samples directly on coverslips or chamber slides, and place the coverslips or chamber slides containing the special samples directly on the adapter 100. This enables imaging of the special samples, simplifies operation steps, improves sample compatibility, and allows for stable imaging of different types of samples.

[0037] like Figure 1As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the adapter 100 may further include multiple limiting components 30. The multiple limiting components 30 may be disposed on the limiting boss 20, and the multiple limiting components 30 may be movably connected to the limiting boss 20 respectively to limit the movement of the sample stage. That is, the multiple limiting components 30 cooperate to improve the limiting effect on the sample stage and prevent the sample from drifting during the imaging process, thereby improving the stability of the sample imaging.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting component 30 may include an adjusting bolt 31 and a limiting arm 32. The limiting boss 20 may be provided with an adjusting hole 213, which may have an internal thread. The stud of the adjusting bolt 31 may be threaded into the adjusting hole 213 to adjust the height of the bolt head of the adjusting bolt 31. One end of the limiting arm 32 may be rotatably connected to the stud, that is, one end of the limiting arm 32 may be sleeved on the outer circumference of the stud, and one end of the limiting arm 32 may be located between the limiting boss 20 and the bolt head of the adjusting bolt 31.

[0039] The other end of the limiting arm 32 can extend to the middle of the receiving space 40 so that the other end of the limiting arm 32 can contact the sample stage, for example, in Figure 3 From the perspective shown, by rotating the adjusting bolt 31 in the forward direction (e.g., clockwise), the adjusting bolt 31 can be tightened so that the bolt head presses against one end of the limiting arm 32, and the other end of the limiting arm 32 presses against the sample stage. This can achieve the clamping of the limiting arm 32 and the sample stage, which can improve the limiting effect on the sample stage, prevent the sample stage from shaking, and thus prevent the sample from drifting during the imaging process, thereby improving the stability of the sample imaging.

[0040] Of course, by rotating the adjusting bolt 31 in the opposite direction (such as counterclockwise), the adjusting bolt 31 can be loosened so that the limiting arm 32 can rotate freely around the stud on the horizontal plane, which is convenient for adjusting the horizontal position of the limiting arm 32 and is also beneficial for picking up and putting down samples.

[0041] One end of the stud (such as Figure 1 The lower end shown can pass through the adjustment hole 213, and the part of the stud that passes through the adjustment hole 213 can be threaded with the nut, which can improve the reliability of the connection between the adjustment bolt 31 and the limiting boss 20, prevent the adjustment bolt 31 from loosening, and the limiting arm 32 can be made of steel or other materials, which can ensure the limiting effect on the sample stage and improve the service life of the limiting arm 32.

[0042] It can be understood that the outer periphery of the stud can be sleeved with a pressing plate, which can be located between the bolt head and the limiting boss 20, can increase the contact area between the adjusting bolt 31 and the limiting boss 20, and by rotating the adjusting bolt 31, the pressing of the pressing plate can be realized, which can prevent the adjusting bolt 31 from loosening, or the pressing plate can be located between the nut and the limiting plate, and by rotating the adjusting bolt 31, the pressing of the pressing plate can be realized, which can prevent the adjusting bolt 31 from loosening, and the pressing plate can be made of rubber or silicone, which can reduce damage to the material and improve the service life of the limiting assembly 30.

[0043] Of course, the outer periphery of the stud can also be sleeved with a gasket, and the gasket can be located between the bolt head and the limiting boss 20, which can increase the height of the bolt head of the adjusting bolt 31, and can increase the height of the limiting arm 32, so that by replacing gaskets of different thicknesses, the height of the bolt head and the limiting arm 32 can be adjusted, which is beneficial to limit different sizes of sample stages, improve the limiting effect of the sample stage, and improve the stability of the sample imaging. The gasket can be made of rubber or silicone, which can reduce damage to the material and improve the service life of the limiting assembly 30.

[0044] As shown in Figure 1 In some embodiments, the limiting boss 20 can be provided with at least one limiting module, each limiting module can include two limiting assemblies 30, the center of the containing space 40 can be a center point, and the two limiting assemblies 30 can be symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the center point. Figure 1 For example, the limiting boss 20 can be provided with one limiting module (two limiting assemblies 30), one limiting assembly 30 can be arranged on the front side of the left limiting boss 20, and the other limiting assembly 30 can be arranged on the rear side of the right limiting boss 20, which can improve the limiting effect of the sample stage and improve the stability of the sample imaging.

[0045] It can be understood that the limiting boss 20 can be provided with two limiting modules (four limiting assemblies 30), one limiting assembly 30 of one limiting module can be arranged on the front side of the left limiting boss 20, and the other limiting assembly 30 of one limiting module can be arranged on the rear side of the right limiting boss 20, one limiting assembly 30 of the other limiting module can be arranged on the rear side of the left limiting boss 20, and the other limiting assembly 30 of the other limiting module can be arranged on the front side of the right limiting boss 20, which can improve the limiting effect of the sample stage and improve the stability of the sample imaging. Of course, the number of limiting modules can be more, which can further improve the limiting effect of the sample stage, or the limiting boss 20 can be provided with one limiting assembly 30, which is beneficial to save cost and facilitate operation.

[0046] AsFigure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the two limiting bosses 20 can each define a limiting groove 21, and the limiting groove 21 can be located on the side of the two limiting bosses 20 that are close to each other, so as to... Figure 1 For example, the right side of the left limiting boss 20 can be defined by a limiting groove 21, and the left side of the right limiting boss 20 can be defined by a limiting groove 21. At least a part of the limiting component 30 can be set in the limiting groove 21, which helps to reduce the height of the limiting component 30, thereby ensuring that the limiting arm 32 presses against the sample stage, which helps to improve the limiting effect on the sample stage.

[0047] The two limiting grooves 21 can be arranged opposite each other, meaning they can open towards each other. For example, the left limiting groove 21 can open to the right, and the right limiting groove 21 can open to the left. Based on the normal movement of the limiting arm 32, this allows a portion of the limiting arm 32 to extend into the middle of the accommodating space 40, improving the limiting effect on the sample stage. Furthermore, the two limiting grooves 21 can each open towards the side opposite to the support plate 10 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 The upper side (as shown) is open, facilitating the installation of the limiting component 30.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, each limiting groove 21 may have a side wall 211 and a bottom wall 212. The side walls 211 of the two limiting grooves 21 may be arranged opposite to each other. The limiting component 30 may be movably connected to the bottom wall 212, that is, the bottom wall 212 of the limiting groove 21 may be provided with an adjustment hole 213. The adjustment bolt 31 of the limiting component 30 may be threadedly connected to the adjustment hole 213. Alternatively, the limiting component 30 may be movably connected to the side wall 211. For example, the limiting arm 32 of the limiting component 30 may be slidably connected to the side wall 211. Or, the limiting component 30 may be connected to the bottom wall 212 and the side wall 211 respectively, which can improve the stability of the movement of the limiting component 30. The bottom wall 212 and the side wall 211 may be perpendicular to each other, which can prevent the limiting arm 32 from interfering with the limiting groove 21 and improve the reliability of the movement of the limiting component 30.

[0049] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the adapter 100 may further include multiple magnetic components, a portion of which can be adsorbed onto the microscope stage adapter, and each magnetic component can be located on the outer surface of the mounting slot, which can limit the position of the magnetic component. The operator can place the magnetic component on the part of the microscope stage adapter corresponding to the position of the mounting slot, so that the other part of each magnetic component can be suspended directly above the mounting slot, which is beneficial for fixing the adapter 100.

[0050] Furthermore, since the limiting arm 32 on the adapter 100 can limit the sample stage, the magnetic suction component and the limiting component 30 can cooperate to improve the limiting effect on the sample stage and prevent the sample from drifting during imaging. This can improve the stability of the sample imaging, enabling the instrument to image fixed samples and live plant samples. This expands the types of samples that can be imaged, thus improving the compatibility of the samples and enabling stable imaging of different types of samples.

[0051] In some embodiments, the side of the limiting boss 20 facing away from the support plate 10 (e.g.) Figure 1 The surface of the adapter 100 (shown on the upper side) can be flush with the surface of the microscope stage adapter located outside the mounting slot. This arrangement prevents the adapter 100 from protruding from the surface of the microscope stage adapter and prevents interference between the magnetic component and the adapter 100. This allows the magnetic component to move on the microscope stage adapter, which is beneficial for changing the position of the magnetic component. Furthermore, the part of the magnetic component directly above the mounting slot can directly abut against the limiting boss 20, so that the magnetic component can cooperate with the bottom of the mounting slot, thereby limiting the position of the adapter 100.

[0052] In some embodiments, the magnetic element can attract the adapter 100, allowing the same magnetic element to attract both the microscope stage adapter and the adapter 100, thereby improving the limiting effect on the adapter 100. It is understood that the microscope stage adapter can be made of magnetic materials such as iron or steel, allowing the magnetic element to attract the microscope stage adapter and thus limiting the magnetic element. Similarly, the adapter 100 can be made of magnetic materials such as iron or steel, allowing the magnetic element to attract the adapter 100 and thus limiting the adapter 100.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the support plate 10 and the limiting boss 20 can be integrally formed, which can improve the structural strength of the adapter 100, improve the service life of the adapter 100, and facilitate processing.

[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, according to some embodiments of the present application, the sample stage can be a cover glass, the cover glass can be placed on the support plate 10, and the cover glass can be located in the accommodating space 40 between the two limiting bosses 20, a limiting groove 21 can be arranged on the limiting boss 20, a limiting assembly 30 can be arranged in the limiting groove 21, and the limiting arm 31 of the limiting assembly 30 can extrude the cover glass to achieve limiting of the cover glass, and the magnetic attraction piece on the microscope stage adapter can attract the limiting boss 20 to achieve limiting of the entire adapter 100, so that stable imaging of the sample on the cover glass can be achieved.
