Description

Technical Field

The microscopic imaging technology is widely applied to the fields of life science and medicine, the imaging speed is an important parameter in the field of microscopic imaging, and especially for imaging of large-volume samples, the technology is important for obtaining image information in a short time. Microscopic imaging methods can be classified into point scanning, line scanning, and area scanning according to the shape of the excitation light. The most common application of point scanning is laser scanning confocal microscopy, and in the imaging method, a small hole is arranged in front of a detector to filter out non-focal plane information interference and form optical chromatography, so that the image contrast is improved; confocal microscopy scans a sample point by point to obtain a complete image, has a slow imaging speed, and is commonly used for imaging small samples. In the area scanning mode, namely the wide field imaging mode, signals of the whole field of view of the objective lens can be acquired by one exposure, but because of no chromatographic effect, signals at different points interfere with each other, and high-resolution images are difficult to acquire. The line scanning imaging mode is an imaging mode between a point scanning imaging mode and a surface scanning imaging mode, and can not only add a slit in a detection optical path like a confocal microscope to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of an image, but also improve the scanning speed to a certain extent.
The existing line confocal microscope generally utilizes a cylindrical mirror to generate line light spots, and utilizes a vibrating mirror as a scanning device, and the frame rate of the microscope can reach 100Hz under the condition that the single objective field of view is 512 multiplied by 512 pixels. However, if a centimeter-level large-volume sample is to be imaged, a three-dimensional moving sample stage needs to be introduced to drive the sample to perform mosaic scanning imaging, and since the system is not imaged when the platform moves from the current position to the next imaging position, the larger the sample is, the more the platform moves, the more the non-imaging time is, and the imaging speed and the imaging efficiency are affected.
