An optical projection tomography system is illuminated with a light source. An object-containing tube, a portion of which is located within the region illuminated by the light source, contains an object of interest that has a feature of interest. A detector is located to receive emerging radiation from the object of interest. A lens, including optical field extension elements, is located in the optical path between the object region and the detector, such that light rays from multiple object planes in the object-containing tube simultaneously focus on the detector. The object-containing tube moves relatively to the detector and the lens operate to provide multiple views of the object region for producing an image of the feature of interest at each view.

The invention relates to a method for the examination by tomography of a sample (9). According to said method, a sample (9) is illuminated with an illumination light beam (3), and a transmission light beam (10), which contains the light of the illumination light beam (3) transmitted through the sample (9), is detected by means of a transmission detector (13). The invention further relates to a device for the examination of a sample (9) by tomography. The illumination light beam (3) and the transmission light beam (10) pass through the same lens (7) with opposite propagation directions.

A method for 3D imaging of a biologic object (1) in an optical tomography system where a subcellular structure of a biological object (1) is labeled by introducing at least one nanoparticle-biomarker. The labeled biological object (1) is moved relatively to a microscope objective (62) to present varying angles of view and the labeled biological object (1) is illuminated with radiation having wavelengths between 150 nm and 900 nm. Radiation transmitted through the labeled biological object (1) and the microscope objective (62) within at least one wavelength bands is sensed with a color camera, or with a set of at least four monochrome cameras. A plurality of cross-sectional images of the biological object (1) from the sensed radiation is formed and reconstructed to make a 3D image of the labeled biological object (1).

The invention discloses a method and device for marking the center of rotation based on an optical projection tomography sinogram. The method includes: the projection rotation center of the marker and the sample is the same, the first section sinogram and the second section sinogram are obtained, and the calculation The balance position of the first section sinogram is calculated by calculating the distance from the balance position to the upper edge and the lower edge of the first section sinogram to obtain the target height value, and the second section sinogram is longitudinally cut or longitudinally repaired, so The height values ​​of the longitudinal cropping and the longitudinal repairing are the target height values, and the back projection reconstruction is performed on the sinogram of the second section after the longitudinal cutting or longitudinal repairing to obtain the target reconstructed cross-sectional view of the sample. The invention quickly calculates the projection rotation center of the sample by introducing markers as reference objects without being affected by the complexity of the sample structure, realizes the correction of the projection rotation center, reduces the artifacts of the reconstruction section, and improves the imaging quality.

The invention discloses an optical projection tomography method based on a merged spiral scanning mode. The optical projection tomography method comprises the following steps of: merging projection drawings on the same height, at the same angle and at different detector positions into a projection drawing which can cover all samples in the horizontal direction, and merging a plurality of local spiral projection data into a whole spiral projection data; calculating the axial visual field of the whole three-dimensional reconstruction body according to the axial position and scanning angle of each merged projection drawing; dividing the three-dimensional reconstruction body into a plurality of pieces of axial tomography to be reconstructed, performing data rearrangement on a projection line corresponding to each axial tomography to be reconstructed to obtain a sinusoidal chart corresponding to the axial tomography to be reconstructed; and reconstructing the sinusoidal chart into a tomography image by utilizing a circular track filtering back projection method, and sequentially superposing various tomography images to obtain the three-dimensional reconstruction body. According to the method, the visual filed of the optical projection tomography can be effectively widened, and the capacity of imaging a large-size object in an imaging system is improved.
