Problems solved by technology

This method is simple to implement, but the slice needs to stop and go, and it needs to wait for a period of time after stopping to ensure that the slice is stable before starting the exposure, so the speed is relatively slow; the second is that the linear array image sensor cooperates with the constant speed of the slice Motion, generally called line scanning mode, in which the slices are kept moving at a constant speed during scanning, and the speed is very fast, but the control is complicated, requiring high control precision of the stage and an auxiliary focusing device, and the system cost is high; The third is that the microlens array cooperates with the area array image sensor to scan at a very fast speed, but because the focus range is to focus on the tissue part of the entire slice, the image quality is not very good. The area array image sensor needs to be customized, and the system structure is very complex

Embodiment 1

[0037] Such as figure 1 , 3 Shown in , 4, a kind of scanning method of microsection, first place the slice 4 to be measured on the automatic three-dimensional mobile platform 2, divide into several continuous scanning strips along its longitudinal direction, the scanning strip of each scanning strip The width is set to the size of the corresponding object field of view of the area array image sensor 53 in the longitudinal direction, and each scanning strip is divided into several continuous scanning fields of view along the horizontal direction, and the length of each scanning field of view is set to The size of the corresponding object field of view of the area array image sensor 53 in the lateral direction;

[0038] a) The computer 6 controls the automatic three-dimensional mobile platform 2 through the controller 7 to drive the current scanning strip of the slice 4 to move continuously along the X direction (that is, the transverse direction), pass through the object field...

Embodiment 2

[0046] Such as figure 2 , 3 , 4, this embodiment is improved on the basis of embodiment one. In the first embodiment, the imaging system 5 is fixed, and the slice 4 moves with the automatic three-dimensional mobile platform 2; in the second embodiment, the slice 4 is fixed on the slice support frame 3, and the imaging system 5 is fixed on the automatic three-dimensional mobile platform 2. On the platform 3, the imaging system 5 moves along with the automatic three-dimensional mobile platform 3, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0047] First place the slice 4 to be measured on the slice support frame 3, and divide it into several continuous scanning strips along its longitudinal direction (ie, the Y direction). The width of each scanning strip is set to the corresponding object direction of the imaging system 5 The size of the field of view in the longitudinal direction, and each scanning strip is divided into several continuous scanning fields of view along the horiz...

Embodiment 3

[0056] Such as figure 1 , 3 As shown in , 4, this embodiment is improved on the basis of embodiment 1, aiming to further increase the scanning speed. Wherein, the area image sensor 53 has an external trigger function; the X direction and the Y direction of the automatic three-dimensional mobile platform 2 have high-precision displacement sensors such as gratings, so as to accurately know the moving distance of the automatic three-dimensional mobile platform 2, and in the X direction. After moving an accurate scanning field of view, the controller 7 outputs a signal as an external trigger signal of the area array image sensor 53 to start exposure. After the exposure is over, the computer 6 reads the image data of the area array image sensor 53 . Since all the image data obtained are accurate adjacent fields of view, they can be directly and seamlessly spliced ​​without software algorithm stitching. At the same time, each scanning field of view has no overlapping rate, so the s...

Abstract

The invention relates to a scanning method and device for microscopic sections; the scanning device comprises a computer, an automatic three-dimensional moving platform, a light source, section support frame and an imaging system, wherein the light source, the section support frame and the imaging system are sequentially and coaxially arranged; the automatic three-dimensional moving platform is connected with the section support frame or the imaging system and is controlled by a controller to drive the sections or the imaging system to move in a three-dimensional direction; and the controller and the imaging system are respectively and electrically connected with the computer. The scanning method comprises the following steps of; (1) dividing the sections to be measured along longitudinal and transverse directions; (b) leading the sections to continuously pass through an object field of the imaging system; (c) exposing the imaging system; (d) collecting image data; (4) storing data; (f) judging whether the scanning of a current scanning band is finished; (g) combining and storing data; and (h) judging whether the scanning of all scanning bands is finished. The scanning method has the advantages: during scanning, the sections continue to move relative to the imaging system in high speed; the requirement for control accuracy is low, thereby the cost is reduced; and a common planar array image sensor is directly used for establishing a focusing model without an additional auxiliary focusing device, thereby more cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microscopes, and in particular relates to a scanning method and a scanning device for a microsection. Background technique [0002] Virtual microscopes can obtain large fields of view and high-resolution images at the same time, and are widely used. At present, there are three main technologies: the first is that the area array image sensor cooperates with the scanning of the slice, specifically after the slice moves a field of view, Stop and wait for the area array image sensor to be exposed, and then move to the next field of view after the exposure is over, and so on, to obtain image data of multiple continuous fields of view, and finally stitch them into a full field of view image. This method is simple to implement, but the slice needs to stop and go, and it needs to wait for a period of time after stopping to ensure that the slice is stable before starting the exposure, so the speed is relatively sl...
