摘要:
现代生物学和生物医学领域迫切需要研制兼顾大视场、高分辨率的显微成像技术和仪器以对生物样品实现跨尺度观测,满足重大科学问题的研究需求。受限于系统的空间带宽积,传统商业显微镜无法满足这一需求,且现有高空间带宽积显微成像系统存在体积庞大、实施成本高昂等问题。本文基于HiLo光切片技术和自主设计的大视场高分辨显微物镜,研发了具有高空间带宽积特点的大视场高分辨HiLo光切片显微成像系统,测试了系统的成像视场和分辨率。应用该系统对小鼠脑切片开展了白光照明明场成像实验,并与OLYMPUS商业显微镜成像结果做了对比;对小麦种子荧光切片开展了光切片成像和宽场荧光成像对比实验。实验结果表明, 大视场高分辨HiLo光切片显微成像系统的成像视场达到4.8 mm×3.6 mm (对角视场为6.0 mm),横向分辨率达到0.74 μm,轴向分辨率达到4.16 μm。大视场高分辨HiLo光切片显微成像系统兼有大视场和高分辨率成像的优势和快速光切片成像的能力,能够对大体积生物样本开展快速三维成像,将为胚胎发育、脑成像、数字病理诊断等研究提供有力的技术支撑。
Abstract:The fields of modern biology and biomedicine urgently need wide-field-of-view (FOV), high-resolution microscopic technology and instruments for trans-scale observation of biological samples to meet the requirement of major scientific for research. Limited by the spatial bandwidth product, traditional commercial microscopes cannot meet this demand. Besides, the existing high spatial bandwidth product microscopy systems have problems such as bulky volume and high implementation costs. In this paper, based on the HiLo optical sectioning technology and the self-designed wide-field-of-view and high-resolution objective, a wide-field-of-view and high-resolution HiLo optical sectioning microscopy system was developed. The FOV and imaging resolution of this system were tested. Brightfield imaging experiments were carried out on mouse brain slices by this system and the results were compared with that of OLYMPUS commercial microscope. At the same time, wide-field fluorescence imaging comparison experiments were carried out on wheat seed fluorescent slices. The experiment results show that the FOV of this system reaches 4.8 mm×3.6 mm (the diagonal FOV is 6.0 mm), the lateral resolution reaches 0.74 μm, and the axial resolution reaches 4.16 μm. The comparative experiment proved that this system has the advantages of wide FOV, high resolution and the ability of fast optical sectioning imaging simultaneously. This system can carry out rapid 3D imaging of large-volume biological samples, which will provide strong technical support for researches such as embryonic development, brain imaging, and digital pathology diagnosis.
