[0050] Example 1
[0051] This embodiment provides a transfer assistance platform, such as Figure 1 As shown, the transfer auxiliary platform includes a microscope 1, a stage assembly 2, and a micro-robotic arm assembly 3. The stage assembly 2 is disposed on the microscope 1 and is used to carry the first component to be packaged 100. The micro-robotic arm assembly 3 is located outside the microscope 1 and is used to carry the second component to be packaged 200. The microscope 1 is configured to observe and photograph the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200.
[0052] The first packaged component 100 and the second packaged component 200 are formed by transferring two pieces of graphene grown on different growth substrates onto a transmission substrate. Specifically, the transmission substrate can also be called a grid, which is a graphene transmission electron microscope grid. The transmission substrate is a porous carbon film microgrid with a metal mesh; the microgrid can be a commercially available microgrid loaded with regular or irregular porous carbon films.
[0053] It is understandable that the application scope of the transfer-assisted platform includes, but is not limited to, graphene transmission electron microscope (TEM) meshes, as well as other two-dimensional material TEM meshes or other non-TEM meshes, thus broadening the boundaries of experimental operations, meeting the diverse experimental needs in the field of materials science research, and possessing the advantages of flexibility and efficiency.
[0054] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the stage assembly 2 can move the first component to be packaged 100 relative to the microscope 1 to adjust the relative position between the first component to be packaged 100 and the microscope 1. The micro-robotic arm assembly 3 can move the second component to be packaged 200 relative to the microscope 1 to adjust the relative position between the second component to be packaged 200 and the first component to be packaged 100. The microscope 1 is configured to observe and photograph the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200, so that the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200 can be aligned and fitted together for packaging to form a liquid pool.
[0055] When encapsulation is required, after the first component to be encapsulated 100 is installed onto the stage assembly 2, the first component to be encapsulated 100 is observed using a microscope 1, and the position of the first component to be encapsulated 100 relative to the microscope 1 is adjusted using the stage assembly 2 so that the first component to be encapsulated 100 is located in the center of the field of view of the microscope 1. After the second component to be encapsulated 200 is installed onto the micro-robotic arm assembly 3, the relative position between the second component to be encapsulated 200 and the first component to be encapsulated 100 is adjusted using the micro-robotic arm assembly 3 so that the second component to be encapsulated 200 and the first component to be encapsulated 100 are directly facing each other, thereby achieving precise alignment of the upper and lower layers of the first component to be encapsulated 100 and the second component to be encapsulated 200. Then, the first component to be encapsulated 100 and the second component to be encapsulated 200 are bonded together to form a stable liquid pool.
[0056] The transfer auxiliary platform provided in this embodiment includes a microscope 1 capable of observing and photographing the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200. The microscope 1 has high-resolution imaging capabilities, used for detailed observation of the structure of the two packaging materials in the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200. The stage assembly 2 is used to adjust the position and focal length of the first component to be packaged 100, and the micro-robotic arm assembly 3 is used to adjust the position and focal length of the second component to be packaged 200. Through the coordinated action of the stage assembly 2 and the micro-robotic arm assembly 3, the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200 are aligned, improving alignment accuracy and solving the problem of limited field of view caused by inaccurate alignment. This improves the accuracy of the effective observation area of the liquid pool, thereby increasing the efficiency of observation and analysis of the liquid pool.
[0057] Compared with existing tweezers gripping methods, the use of stage assembly 2 and micro-robotic arm assembly 3 reduces variable interference during the experiment, thereby ensuring the consistency of experimental conditions. Furthermore, this precise and intelligent control method simplifies the operation steps, provides convenience for operators, reduces the difficulty of operation, effectively shortens the experimental cycle, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of material preparation and characterization, further promoting the development of materials chemistry research to a deeper level and a wider range of fields.
[0058] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the microscope 1 includes a base 11 and an objective lens assembly 12, with the objective lens assembly 12 disposed on the base 11 and the stage assembly 2 disposed on the base 11. Specifically, a receiving space is formed between the base 11 and the objective lens assembly 12 to receive the stage assembly 2 and the first component to be packaged 100.
[0059] The base 11, objective lens assembly 12, and stage assembly 2 are coaxially arranged. That is, the central axis of the base 11, the central axis of the objective lens assembly 12, and the central axis of the stage assembly 2 are collinear, so that the first component to be packaged 100 can be located at the center of the field of view of the objective lens assembly 12, which facilitates the alignment and overlap between the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200.
[0060] Specifically, the objective lens assembly 12 includes a first objective lens and a second objective lens. The first objective lens is detachably connected to the base 11, and the second objective lens is detachably connected to the base 11, so that the user can freely replace the first objective lens and the second objective lens according to actual usage needs.
[0061] The first and second objectives have different magnifications. For example, if the magnification of the first objective is less than that of the second objective, then the first objective can be called a low-magnification objective. The first objective has a larger observation range, providing a wide field of view with a diameter of not less than 3 mm, enabling complete observation and imaging of the entire first packaged component 100, thus improving the convenience of experimental operations and packaging efficiency. The second objective can be called a high-magnification objective. The second objective can accurately locate, observe, and perform high-precision imaging of porous carbon film pores with single pore sizes in the range of 1 micrometer to 2 micrometers, thereby providing strong visual support for micro-nano-level structural analysis and research.
[0062] When the first component to be packaged 100 is mounted onto the stage assembly 2, the first objective lens is used to locate and photograph the first component to be packaged 100. The position of the first component to be packaged 100 is adjusted by the stage assembly 2 so that the first component to be packaged 100 is accurately located in the center of the field of view of the first objective lens. When the micro-robotic arm assembly 3 moves the second component to be packaged 200 above the first component to be packaged 100, the first objective lens is removed and replaced with the second objective lens. The first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200 are observed and photographed by the second objective lens. The position of the second component to be packaged 200 is further finely adjusted by the micro-robotic arm assembly 3 so that the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200 are aligned and overlapped in the Z direction, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the packaging.
[0063] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the microscope 1 also includes a display screen 13, which is electrically connected to the objective lens assembly 12, so that the real-time imaging of the first objective lens or the second objective lens can be displayed on the display screen 13, which facilitates the operator to observe and adjust the stage assembly 2 and the micro-robotic arm assembly 3.
[0064] In one embodiment, the stage assembly 2 includes a stage 21, which may have a cuboid structure. The side of the stage 21 facing the objective lens assembly 12 is a bearing surface. The bearing surface is flat and smooth. The bearing surface of the stage 21 is used to support the first component to be packaged 100 to ensure the flatness of the first component to be packaged 100.
[0065] The stage assembly 2 also includes a first adjustment structure 22, which can drive the first packaged component 100 to move along the X, Y, and Z directions via the stage 21; wherein the X, Y, and Z directions are mutually perpendicular. Specifically, the X direction can be selected from the length direction of the base 11, the Y direction can be selected from the width direction of the base 11, and the Z direction can be selected from the height direction of the base 11.
[0066] Specifically, the first adjustment structure 22 is a high-precision micro-adjustment mechanism integrating three orthogonal axes: X, Y, and Z. The stroke distance of the first adjustment structure 22 is not less than 5 cm to ensure that the stage 21 has a wide adjustment range. At the same time, the first adjustment structure 22 can reach the micrometer level to achieve precise adjustment of the first part to be packaged 100 located on the stage 21.
[0067] Meanwhile, the first adjustment structure 22 can also drive the stage 21 to rotate and / or tilt relative to the microscope 1, so that the stage 21 has rotation and tilt functions, and the entire stage assembly 2 is a structure that integrates multiple high-precision and multi-functional components.
[0068] Using this method, users can comprehensively observe the first component to be packaged 100 from multiple different angles according to experimental needs, and achieve precise overlap and alignment of the two complex structural materials of the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the experimental process.
[0069] In one embodiment, a first adsorption hole (not shown in the figure) is provided on the side of the stage 21 away from the first adjustment structure 22. The first adsorption hole is connected to a vacuum generator and is used to adsorb the first component 100 to be packaged. With this configuration, the air in the first adsorption hole is extracted by the vacuum generator, creating a negative pressure in the first adsorption hole, which adsorbs and fixes the first component 100 to be packaged onto the stage 21, achieving a stable and uniform fixation of the first component 100 to be packaged. This ensures that the first component 100 to be packaged will not shift during subsequent operations, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of observation and experimentation.
[0070] The first adsorption pore has a diameter of approximately 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm, which can stably adsorb the first component to be packaged 100 and avoid causing unnecessary damage or interference to the first component to be packaged 100.
[0071] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the micro-robotic arm assembly 3 includes a vacuum pen 31, which is used to adsorb the second component 200 to be packaged. The vacuum pen 31 is less than 2 mm in size. Compared with the existing probe method, the vacuum pen 31 not only has operational flexibility, but also, by precisely controlling the negative pressure value, can achieve anhydrous and stable adsorption and fixation of the second component 200 to be packaged.
[0072] The micro-robotic arm assembly 3 also includes a second adjustment structure 32. One end of the vacuum pen 31 is connected to the second adjustment structure 32, and the other end is used to adsorb the second component to be packaged 200. The second adjustment structure 32 can drive the second component to be packaged 200 to move along the X, Y and Z directions through the vacuum pen 31.
[0073] Specifically, the second adjustment structure 32 is a high-precision micro-adjustment mechanism integrating three orthogonal axes: X, Y, and Z, to ensure that the vacuum pen 31 has a wide adjustment range. Simultaneously, the second adjustment structure 32 can achieve micrometer-level precision to precisely adjust the second component to be packaged 200.
[0074] Meanwhile, the second adjustment structure 32 can drive the second package 200 to be packaged to rotate and / or tilt relative to the microscope 1 through the vacuum suction pen 31, so that the vacuum suction pen 31 has rotation and tilt functions. Thus, the entire micro-robotic arm assembly 3 is a structure that integrates multiple high-precision and multi-functional components, with strong functionality. It realizes the precise overlap and alignment of the two complex structural materials of the first package 100 and the second package 200, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the experimental process.
[0075] In one embodiment, the transfer-aid platform further includes an addition component (not shown in the figure), located outside the microscope 1. This addition component, also referred to as a micro-dropping device, is used to add the liquid to be encapsulated into the gap between the first encapsulated component 100 and the second encapsulated component 200. The liquid to be encapsulated can be a nanoparticle solution, a salt solution, an organic solvent, an inorganic solvent, or a culture medium containing a biological sample.
[0076] After adding the encapsulating liquid to the gap between the first encapsulated component 100 and the second encapsulated component 200 using the adding component, the second adjustment structure 32 of the micro-robotic arm assembly 3 is operated to slowly lower the second encapsulated component 200 until the first encapsulated component 100 and the second encapsulated component 200 are completely adhered. Utilizing the surface tension and viscosity of the encapsulating liquid, the first encapsulated component 100 and the second encapsulated component 200 are adhered and form a closed in-situ liquid pool between them. Then, a compaction process is performed for a period of time to ensure the stability and sealing of the liquid pool.
[0077] The working process of the transfer assistance platform provided in this embodiment is as follows:
[0078] 1. Place the first component to be packaged 100 on the stage 21, and use a vacuum generator to extract the air from the first adsorption hole to fix the first component to be packaged 100 on the stage 21.
[0079] 2. Use the first objective lens to locate and photograph the first component to be packaged 100, and adjust the position of the first component to be packaged 100 through the stage assembly 2 so that the first component to be packaged 100 is accurately located in the center of the field of view of the first objective lens;
[0080] 3. The second component to be packaged 200 is adsorbed by the vacuum suction pen 31, and the position of the second component to be packaged 200 is adjusted by the second adjustment structure 32 so that the second component to be packaged 200 is directly above the first component to be packaged 100, ensuring that the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200 are initially aligned.
[0081] 4. Disassemble the first objective lens and replace it with the second objective lens. Use the second objective lens to observe and photograph the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200. Further control the second adjustment structure 32 of the micro-robotic arm assembly 3 to finely adjust the position of the second component to be packaged 200 so that the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200 are aligned and overlapped along the Z direction.
[0082] 5. After the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200 are fully aligned, the second component to be packaged 200 is gradually lowered by adjusting the second adjustment structure 32. When the gap between the second component to be packaged 200 and the first component to be packaged 100 is about 1 cm, the liquid to be packaged is dripped into the gap between them by adding components. Under the action of the surface tension and viscosity of the liquid to be packaged, the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200 can form a stable liquid pool when they are bonded together.
[0083] 6. Continue operating the second adjustment structure 32 to slowly lower the second component to be packaged 200 until the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200 are completely in contact, so that a closed in-situ liquid pool is formed between the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200, and the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200 are compacted for a period of time to ensure the stability and sealing of the liquid pool.
[0084] 7. After about ten minutes of compaction, stop the vacuum suction pen 31 and the vacuum generator's vacuum adsorption function, and remove the sealed in-situ liquid pool from the stage 21 to complete the sealing process of a complete in-situ liquid pool.
[0085] The transfer-aid platform provided in this embodiment simplifies the experimental procedures for constructing a high-quality graphene liquid pool, significantly improving the success rate and repeatability of the experiment. This integrated approach not only achieves precise encapsulation and protection of the first component to be encapsulated 100 and the second component to be encapsulated 200, but also provides a reliable foundation for subsequent efficient observation and analysis.
[0086] Example 2
[0087] This embodiment is similar to Embodiment 1, except for the detailed structure of the stage assembly 2.
[0088] like Figure 2 As shown, the stage assembly 2 provided in this embodiment also includes a heating stage 23. The heating stage 23 is disposed on the side of the stage 21 away from the first adjustment structure 22 or between the stage 21 and the first adjustment structure 22. That is, the heating stage 23 can be disposed above or below the stage 21. The heating stage 23 is used to heat the first packaged component 100.
[0089] The heating stage 23 allows for real-time heating and in-situ characterization of a single first component 100 to be packaged, expanding the depth and breadth of experimental research. Furthermore, the first component 100 and the second component 200 to be packaged can be heated according to experimental requirements, thereby simulating or accelerating the reaction process of the two components under specific temperature conditions. By precisely controlling the temperature of the heating stage 23 and promoting the chemical reaction or physical changes between the first and second components 100 and the liquid to be packaged, the sealing of the liquid pool is further strengthened, thus achieving the special effect of packaging.
[0090] When the heating stage 23 is positioned on the side of the stage 21 away from the first adjustment structure 22, a second adsorption hole (not shown in the figure) is provided on the side of the heating stage 23 away from the stage 21. The second adsorption hole is connected to the vacuum generator and is used to adsorb the first packaged component 100.
[0091] With this setup, the air in the second adsorption hole is extracted by a vacuum generator, creating a negative pressure inside the second adsorption hole. This adsorbs and fixes the first part to be packaged 100 onto the stage 21, achieving a stable and uniform fixation of the first part to be packaged 100. This ensures that the first part to be packaged 100 or both the first part to be packaged 100 and the second part to be packaged 200 will not shift during the packaging process, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of observation and experimentation.
[0092] It is understandable that if the heating stage 23 is positioned between the stage 21 and the first adjustment structure 22, the first component to be packaged 100 is placed on the stage 21 and fixed by adsorption through the first adsorption hole.
[0093] The working process of the transfer assistance platform provided in this embodiment is as follows:
[0094] 1. Place the first component to be packaged 100 on the stage 21, and use a vacuum generator to extract the air from the first adsorption hole to fix the first component to be packaged 100 on the stage 21.
[0095] 2. Use the first objective lens to locate and photograph the first component to be packaged 100, and adjust the position of the first component to be packaged 100 through the stage assembly 2 so that the first component to be packaged 100 is accurately located in the center of the field of view of the first objective lens;
[0096] 3. The second component to be packaged 200 is adsorbed by the vacuum suction pen 31, and the position of the second component to be packaged 200 is adjusted by the second adjustment structure 32 so that the second component to be packaged 200 is directly above the first component to be packaged 100, ensuring that the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200 are initially aligned.
[0097] 4. Disassemble the first objective lens and replace it with the second objective lens. Use the second objective lens to observe and photograph the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200. Further control the second adjustment structure 32 of the micro-robotic arm assembly 3 to finely adjust the position of the second component to be packaged 200 so that the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200 are aligned and overlapped along the Z direction.
[0098] 5. After the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200 are fully aligned, the second component to be packaged 200 is gradually lowered by adjusting the second adjustment structure 32. When the gap between the second component to be packaged 200 and the first component to be packaged 100 is about 1 cm, the liquid to be packaged is dripped into the gap between them by adding components. Under the action of the surface tension and viscosity of the liquid to be packaged, the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200 can form a stable liquid pool when they are bonded together.
[0099] 6. Continue operating the second adjustment structure 32 to slowly lower the second component to be packaged 200 until the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200 are completely in contact, so that a closed in-situ liquid pool is formed between the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200, and the first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200 are compacted for a period of time to ensure the stability and sealing of the liquid pool.
[0100] 7. After about ten minutes of compaction, stop the vacuum suction pen 31 and the vacuum generator's vacuum adsorption function;
[0101] 8. The first component to be packaged 100 and the second component to be packaged 200, which have been packaged, are subjected to a specific temperature heating treatment using the heating table 23;
[0102] 9. After the heat treatment is completed, the sealed in-situ liquid pool is removed from the stage 21 for subsequent observation and analysis, so as to complete the sealing process of a complete in-situ liquid pool.
