Multi-Sided Inspection Cage for Biological Tissue Imaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional biological tissue inspection devices capture only one side of the tissue, resulting in low inspection efficiency.
Innovation Solution
An inspection device with a platform, cage, and image capturing module that captures images from multiple transparent sides of the cage, allowing for comprehensive inspection by rotating the cage and using multiple image capturing elements to capture images from non-coplanar transparent sides.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If only one image of one side of the biological tissue is captured, then the inspection process is simple, but the inspection efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The inspection device segments the imaging task by using multiple image capturing elements (first image capturing element, second image capturing element) positioned at different locations. Each element captures images from different transparent sides of the cage, allowing simultaneous multi-region inspection of the biological tissue, thereby improving inspection efficiency without requiring complex sequential operations
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from single-sided imaging to multi-sided imaging by adding spatial dimensions. The cage structure with multiple transparent sides (first transparent side, second transparent side) enables image capturing from different orientations and angles, providing comprehensive tissue inspection from multiple perspectives simultaneously, thus enhancing productivity
2Measurement precision
If multiple images from multiple sides are captured, then inspection thoroughness is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The cage structure serves multiple functions: it holds the biological tissue, provides multiple transparent sides for imaging, and acts as a rotational platform. The same cage body with its transparent sides is used by both the first image capturing element and the second image capturing element, allowing a single structural component to fulfill multiple imaging functions, thereby improving inspection thoroughness without proportionally increasing device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The invention merges the tissue holder, imaging chamber, and rotational mechanism into a single integrated cage assembly. The first transparent side and second transparent side are both part of the same cage structure, and multiple image capturing elements are combined to work together on the same platform, creating a unified system that achieves comprehensive inspection without the complexity of separate independent systems

AI summary
An inspection device is provided. The inspection device includes a platform, a cage, a holder and an image capturing module. The cage is disposed on the platform, wherein the cage includes a first transparent side and a second transparent side, and the first transparent side and the second transparent side are not coplanar. The holder is disposed in the cage. The image capturing module captures a first image from the first transparent side, and it captures a second image from the second transparent side.
