The invention discloses an
optical fiber micro-beam probe and
system capable of achieving synchronous imaging of
cell morphology and mechanical characteristics, the
optical fiber micro-beam probe comprises a single-mode
optical fiber, a Bragg
grating, a supporting column, a micro-beam and a nanometer needle tip, the single-mode optical
fiber comprises a
fiber core and a wrapping layer outside the
fiber core, and the Bragg
grating is located in the fiber core of the single-mode optical fiber; the first end of the supporting column is fixed to the second end face of the single-mode optical fiber, one end of the micro-beam is fixed to the second end of the supporting column, and the nanometer needle tip is located on the surface of the other end of the micro-beam. The
metal film is introduced to enhance the
reflectivity of the micro-beam, and the nano needle tip is introduced to improve the
cell morphology and mechanical imaging resolution. An optical fiber FPI sensitive external weak force is formed on the end face of an optical fiber by adopting a micro-beam probe,
resonance of the micro-beam probe is excited by light driving, the
resonance is influenced by the weak attractive force on the surface of a
cell, the change of information such as resonant frequency and amplitude is monitored, and synchronous imaging of the morphology and the
mechanical property of the
living cell is realized.
Miniaturization, integration and high efficiency of an imaging
system are facilitated, and a new method is provided for cell imaging in the fields of
biomedicine and the like.
