Surface plasma coupling emission directional enhancement type microscopic fluorescence imaging and spectrum detection method and device based on objective lens coupling type

Abstract

The invention discloses a surface plasma coupled emission (SPCE) directional enhanced microscopic fluorescence imaging and spectrum detection method and device based on an objective lens coupling type. Polarized exciting light modulated by a half-wave plate is reflected by a dichroic filter and then reaches an objective lens at a specific angle to excite metal surface plasma to be coupled to a sample, and generated SPCE signals are collected by the objective lens and filtered by the dichroic filter and then are switched and guided into an SPCE microscopy fluorescence imaging module or an SPCE microscopy fluorescence spectrum module through a reflector to realize SPCE microscopic fluorescence imaging and spectrum acquisition of the same micro-area of the sample. By combining a microscope system, a coupling strategy SPCE is applied to high-spatial-resolution fluorescence imaging and spectrum at the same time, the directional enhancement characteristic and the spatial selection function on the micro-area scale are achieved, high-quality microscopic fluorescence imaging and spectrum information of the same micro-area of a sample can be obtained, and an efficient and reliable means is provided for detecting the low-content components of a micro area of interest in a complex system.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

At present, although the SPCE imaging and spectral detection device based on the prism configuration can obtain the SPCE fluorescence imaging and spectral information of the sample at the same time, its detection range is large, and it cannot detect samples with a micro-area size, which limits the application of SPCE analysis technology in more Applications on a Small Scale

On the other hand, although the SPCE technology based on the configuration of the objective lens can obtain the imaging information of the micro-scale sample, it is still unable to obtain the spectral information of the corresponding micro-area of ​​the sample.
