Description
技术领域technical field
本发明属于显微光谱成像技术领域,涉及一种透射式共焦CARS显微光谱测试方法及装置,可用于快速检测被测透明样品的几何形貌并获得微区CARS光谱,实现高空间分辨的层析图谱成像。The invention belongs to the technical field of microspectral imaging, and relates to a transmission-type confocal CARS microspectral testing method and device, which can be used to quickly detect the geometric shape of a transparent sample to be tested and obtain a micro-area CARS spectrum to achieve high spatial resolution. Tomographic imaging.
技术背景technical background
传统的共焦拉曼显微技术由于拉曼散射本身特性导致其散射光谱信号极弱,即便用高强度的激光激发,要得到一副对比度好的光谱图像,依然需要很长的作用时间。这种长时间作用限制了拉曼显微技术在生物领域的应用。基于相干拉曼效应的相干反斯托克斯拉曼散射(CARS)过程能够很大程度上增强拉曼信号,从而实现快速检测。相干拉曼效应是通过受激激发的光将分子锁定在振动能级上,这种方法产生的振动信号的强度与激发光的强度成非线性关系,可以产生很强的信号,也称为相干非线性拉曼光谱。它具有很强的能量转换效率,曝光时间短,对样品的损害也比较小,同时它的散射具有一定的方向性,容易与杂散光分离。Due to the characteristics of Raman scattering itself, the traditional confocal Raman microscopy technique results in extremely weak scattering spectral signals. Even with high-intensity laser excitation, it still takes a long time to obtain a spectral image with good contrast. This long-term effect limits the application of Raman microscopy in the biological field. The coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) process based on the coherent Raman effect can greatly enhance the Raman signal, thus realizing fast detection. The coherent Raman effect is to lock the molecules on the vibrational energy level through the excited light. The intensity of the vibration signal generated by this method has a nonlinear relationship with the intensity of the excitation light, which can generate a strong signal, also known as coherence. Nonlinear Raman spectroscopy. It has strong energy conversion efficiency, short exposure time, and relatively little damage to the sample. At the same time, its scattering has a certain directionality, and it is easy to separate from stray light.
相干反斯托克斯拉曼散射(CARS)的产生是一个三阶非线性光学过程,它需要泵浦光、斯托克斯光和探测光。一般而言,为了减少光源的数量,简化过程,常用泵浦光代替探测光,它们之间的关系如图2所示,当泵浦光(wp)和斯托克斯光(ws)的频率之差与拉曼活性分子的振动频率相匹配时,将激发出CARS光was,其中was=2wp-ws。CARS光的产生过程包含特定的拉曼活性分子的振动模式和导致分子从基态至激发态振动跃迁的入射光场的相互作用过程,它的能级示意图如图3所示。图3(a)表示拉曼共振和非共振单光子增强对CARS过程的贡献,图3(b)表示拉曼共振和非共振双光子增强对CARS过程的贡献;当Ep和Es之间的频差与拉曼活性分子的振动频率相匹配时,激发出的信号得到共振增强。The generation of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) is a third-order nonlinear optical process, which requires pump light, Stokes light and probe light. Generally speaking, in order to reduce the number of light sources and simplify the process, the pump light is often used instead of the probe light. The relationship between them is shown in Figure 2. When the pump light (w p ) and the Stokes light (w s ) When the frequency difference of is matched with the vibration frequency of the Raman active molecule, the CARS light w as will be excited, where w as =2w p -w s . The generation process of CARS light includes the interaction process between the vibration mode of specific Raman active molecules and the incident light field that leads to the vibrational transition of molecules from the ground state to the excited state. Its energy level diagram is shown in Figure 3. Figure 3(a) shows the contribution of Raman resonance and non-resonance single-photon enhancement to the CARS process, and Figure 3(b) shows the contribution of Raman resonance and non-resonance two-photon enhancement to the CARS process; when the frequency between Ep and Es When the difference matches the vibrational frequency of the Raman-active molecule, the excited signal is resonantly enhanced.
现有的CARS显微技术大多采用两个单波长激光器进行光谱激发,因此只能获得特定频谱的光谱信息,而且并没有强调系统的定焦能力,导致实际光谱探测位置往往处于离焦位置。即便离焦位置也能激发出样品的拉曼光谱并被针孔后的光谱仪探测,但是强度并不能合理表征该点正确的光谱信号强度。这样导致CARS显微系统探测微区光谱的能力受到很大限制,并制约了其在更精细微区光谱测试与分析场合中的应用。Most of the existing CARS microscopy techniques use two single-wavelength lasers for spectral excitation, so only spectral information of a specific spectrum can be obtained, and the system’s fixed-focus capability is not emphasized, resulting in the actual spectral detection position often being in an out-of-focus position. Even the out-of-focus position can excite the Raman spectrum of the sample and be detected by the spectrometer behind the pinhole, but the intensity cannot reasonably represent the correct spectral signal intensity at this point. As a result, the ability of the CARS microscopic system to detect micro-region spectra is greatly limited, and its application in finer micro-region spectral testing and analysis occasions is restricted.
此外,大多数光谱检测技术及装置是基于反射式结构,在检测透明材料时效果不佳。基于上述情况,本发明针对测量透明样品提出将系统收集到的样品中散射的强于样品拉曼散射光103~106倍的瑞利光进行高精度探测,使其与光谱探测系统有机融合,进行空间位置信息和光谱信息的同步探测,以实现高空间分辨的、高光谱分辨的共焦CARS图谱成像和探测。In addition, most spectroscopic detection techniques and devices are based on reflective structures, which are not effective in detecting transparent materials. Based on the above situation, the present invention proposes high-precision detection of the Rayleigh light scattered in the sample collected by the system, which is 10 3 to 10 6 times stronger than the Raman scattered light of the sample, for the measurement of transparent samples, so that it can be organically integrated with the spectral detection system. Simultaneous detection of spatial position information and spectral information is performed to realize confocal CARS atlas imaging and detection with high spatial resolution and high spectral resolution.
本发明专利的核心思想是基于检测透明样品的需求,提出透射式共焦CARS显微光谱测量方法与装置。其中,选用单波长脉冲激光器和超连续谱脉冲激光器作为激发光源,扩大激发光谱范围,提高光谱激发强度;将共焦显微结构与CARS光谱结构结合,利用共焦响应曲线的“最大值点”与显微物镜焦点位置精确对应这一特性,精确定焦,实现高空间分辨;精确定焦后,进行光谱探测,获得最佳光谱分辨能力;将光谱信息和几何信息融合,实现层析图谱探测与测量。The core idea of the patent of the present invention is to propose a transmission confocal CARS microspectral measurement method and device based on the requirement of detecting transparent samples. Among them, single-wavelength pulsed lasers and supercontinuum pulsed lasers are selected as excitation light sources to expand the range of excitation spectra and increase the intensity of spectral excitation; combine the confocal microstructure with the CARS spectral structure, use the "maximum point" of the confocal response curve and the The focus position of the micro-objective lens accurately corresponds to this characteristic, precise focusing, and high spatial resolution; after precise focusing, spectral detection is performed to obtain the best spectral resolution capability; spectral information and geometric information are fused to achieve tomographic detection and measurement .
