Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and particularly relates to a wearable multi-light-source fluorescence imaging system for experimental animals.
Background
The detection of the neuron activity signals is the basis of neuroscience research, and conventional means such as electrophysiological recording have the problems of high technical difficulty, low flux, no specificity, lack of spatial resolution and the like. The development of optical nerve probes such as calcium sensitive fluorescent probes, neurotransmitter sensitive probes and voltage sensitive probes makes it possible to apply the optical imaging technology to the detection and recording of nerve activities, well makes up for the defects of the traditional technology, and is an important supplement to the modern neuroscience research and detection technology.
Wide field fluorescence microscopy is an important tool for optical imaging of neuronal activity. The wide-field fluorescence microscope can be used for monochromatic and multicolor (such as double-layer and three-color) neuron activity fluorescence imaging by matching with corresponding fluorescence probes, and can also be used for performing in-situ optogenetic stimulation simultaneously by adding optogenetic stimulation light sources. Miniaturized wide-field fluorescence microscopes, which are implemented by using micro-optics, micro-imaging elements and micro-mirror structures, are ideal solutions for optical imaging of free-moving animals in somatic nerves, and have now begun to be applied in neuroscience research at home and abroad. However, the light source adopted by the existing micro fluorescence microscope is that a light emitting diode is assembled on a microscope body to serve as a self-contained light source, and a collimating lens and a narrow-band filter are required to be used in a matched manner (such as the invention patent of China with the application number of 201910621446.9), so that the structure is complex, the cost is high, the assembly difficulty is high, and the light source replacement relates to the microscope disassembly, and the light wavelength is difficult to replace according to the actual research requirement. Particularly, if the wavelength of light is increased to perform multicolor imaging or increase the optogenetic function, each time one wavelength of light is increased, a set of light source consisting of a light emitting diode, a collimating lens and a narrow-band filter needs to be added, and a dichroic mirror for guiding the light source needs to be additionally added, so that the light path is complicated, and the increase to more than two wavelengths of light is difficult. Although the light wavelength can be increased to two light wavelengths, the increased components and space of the lens body can cause the lens body to have large volume, heavy weight, complex assembly and high cost, and because the coupling efficiency of the light-emitting diode is low, the light-emitting diode needs to use larger power when carrying out higher-energy optogenetic research, generates heat seriously and is not suitable for continuous experiments worn on the head of an animal for a long time.
Therefore, in order to solve the problems in the prior art and meet the requirements of the present neuroscience on the research of multicolor fluorescence imaging and in-situ optogenetic stimulation-fluorescence imaging on freely moving animals, a multifunctional micro fluorescence microscope which can be expanded into a plurality of light source wavelengths, has small volume, light weight, simple structure and easy assembly needs to be developed.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is further described in detail with reference to the following embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

The optical fibers from all branches are uniformly and mixedly arranged when being combined, so that the emergent light spots of the light sources from different branches at the light-emitting end of the optical fiber bundle are ensured to be superposed, and the in-situ multi-wavelength imaging or in-situ optogenetic stimulation-fluorescence imaging is realized. Meanwhile, a plurality of single optical fibers distributed at each position emit light together, so that Gaussian spots can be prevented from being formed, platform-like spots are formed, uniformity of imaging light irradiation and light genetic light irradiation is guaranteed, and a light homogenizing device can be arranged at an emergent end of a beam-combining optical fiber bundle to further increase uniformity of the spots. Under the condition that the position of the mirror body where the light outlet end is located is determined, the range of the sample illumination area can be further changed by increasing or decreasing the number of the optical fibers in the optical fiber bundle to change the diameter of the optical fiber bundle, for example, large-field imaging is realized. In addition, because the light energy is dispersed into each single optical fiber through the optical fiber bundle, the transmission power of the single optical fiber is low, and the light power with higher power can be used for optogenetic research or other researches requiring high-power light irradiation.

The wearable multi-light source fluorescence imaging system for experimental animals provided by the invention has great challenges from two aspects: on one hand, as wearable equipment for experimental animals, the influence on the activity of the experimental animals needs to be reduced as much as possible, so that the equipment is light and free to move as much as possible; on the other hand, since the performance of the imaging system is further required to be improved and effects such as multicolor fluorescence imaging and fluorescence imaging combined with optogenetic stimulation are desired to be achieved, the light source structure is further complicated and heavy. The challenges of the two aspects form a certain contradiction, and the existing technical means are difficult to solve. The external light source is guided by the coupling optical fiber bundle, so that the weight increase of the wearable equipment caused by the complicated function of the light source is avoided, even the weight of the wearable equipment is reduced, a light outlet end of the coupling optical fiber bundle is matched with the objective lens, and a focusing lens and an optical filter of a light source light path are omitted, so that the wearable equipment is lighter, and the cost is obviously reduced; meanwhile, an external light source enters the imaging system through fiber bundle coupling, and the fiber bundle can realize switching of the collected fluorescence types (green and red) or the stimulation light wave band by replacing a light-emitting unit coupled with the fiber bundle and/or redistributing the sub-beams; the wavelength is replaced simply, the applicability is wide, and complex functions including multicolor simultaneous fluorescence imaging and in-situ optogenetic imaging (the target tissue of optogenetic stimulation laser, namely the target area of fluorescence imaging, simultaneous apposition imaging, so-called original optogenetic imaging) are realized. In order to further reduce the limitation on the free movement of the experimental animal, the invention preferably adopts the coupling optical fiber bundle of the plastic optical fiber, the plastic optical fiber has better light guiding property and flexibility, the optical fiber bundle has better flexibility and lighter weight than the plastic or quartz optical fiber with the same diameter, and particularly the optical fiber bundle is not easy to break and can carry out long-time in-vivo experiment. If the quartz optical fiber or the glass optical fiber is integrated, the whole flexibility of the coupling optical fiber bundle is poor, so that the experimental animal is not free to move or the problem of easy breakage is caused.
Under the condition that the position of the mirror body where the light-emitting end of the coupling optical fiber bundle is located is determined, the diameter of the optical fiber bundle is changed by increasing or decreasing the number of optical fibers in the optical fiber bundle, so that the range of an illumination area at the sample can be further changed and improved, for example, large-field imaging is realized. In addition, because the light energy is dispersed into each single optical fiber through the optical fiber bundle, the transmission power of the single optical fiber is low, and the light power with higher power can be used for optogenetic research or other researches requiring high-power light irradiation. Meanwhile, the number of optical wavelengths can be increased by simply increasing the number of optical fiber bundle branches, the requirements of multicolor fluorescence imaging and in-situ optogenetic-fluorescence imaging research can be met, the mirror body does not need to be modified, the size, the weight and expensive micro optical devices do not need to be additionally increased, the cost is low, the weight is light, and the method is suitable for large-scale popularization and application.
