Definitions
- the present invention relates to a light scanning device for the excitation and detection of secondary light, in particular fluorescent light, from a sample with a light emission device for emitting excitation light with a wavelength suitable for secondary light excitation on or in the sample, focusing optics for focusing the excitation light onto the sample, a sample holding device for detachable holding of the sample, a detection unit with detection optics for the secondary light emitted when the sample is excited and with a detector device for converting the secondary light into electrical signals.
- a light scanning device for the excitation and detection of secondary light, in particular fluorescent light, from a sample with a light emission device for emitting excitation light with a wavelength suitable for secondary light excitation on or in the sample, focusing optics for focusing the excitation light onto the sample, a sample holding device for detachable holding of the sample, a detection unit with detection optics for the secondary light emitted when the sample is excited and with a detector device for converting the secondary light into electrical signals.
- Such light scanning devices are used, for example, for molecular biological or genetic engineering studies.
- a large number of substances to be examined are applied in a field-like manner to a support and temporarily brought into contact with a fluorescent marking substance.
- Those substances to be examined which have an affinity for the marking substance bind the marking substance to themselves and can therefore be excited to emit fluorescent light. Due to the excitability of the fluorescence, the property of the substance to be examined, binding the marker substance to itself, becomes visible, which allows conclusions to be drawn about the type of the sample substance.
- this object is achieved by a light scanning device of the type mentioned at the outset, which is characterized in that the sample holding device can be rotated to rotate the sample relative to the excitation light in such a way that different subregions of the sample can be excited with the excitation light to emit secondary light.
- the light scanning device mentioned at the outset is characterized in that the focusing optics are rotatably held for guiding the excitation light along an arc on the sample.
- the previously known scanning system using tilting mirrors is replaced by mechanical rotation of either the sample or the scanning light beam, whereby a circular arc is scanned on the sample surface.
- a reinforcement of inaccuracies or tolerances in the rotation of the tilting mirror in the previously known scanning devices, which lead to relatively large inaccuracies in the position coordinates of the scanning beam on the sample, occurring according to the galvanometer principle, is excluded in the device according to the invention, since the beam axis is opposite the sample surface is not tilted.
- high spatial resolutions of up to 2 ⁇ m for example when using a suitable laser diode as a light emission device.
- the focusing optics for focusing the excitation light on a partial area of the sample can consist of a relatively inexpensive objective with a small diameter and a small corrected field area.
- high cost savings can be achieved with the device according to the invention by using a simple and inexpensive focusing optics and the elimination of the complex brackets and controls for the tilting mirrors.
- the focusing optics can be displaced radially with respect to the axis of rotation of the sample holder or the specimen holder can be displaced in the radial direction with respect to the optical axis of the focusing optics.
- two or more pairs of the focusing optics and the detection unit are provided. This significantly reduces the scanning time, especially when using large samples and high resolution.
- the scanning time of the sample area is halved.
- the two pairs of focusing optics and detection unit have a distance between their optical paths that is equal to half the radius of the total scanning area.
- the pairs of the focusing optics and the detection unit are mechanically coupled to one another.
- the mechanical coupling saves adjusting elements for the radial displacement of the focusing optics, which in turn reduces the costs of the light scanning device according to the invention, and on the other hand ensures a more precise positioning due to the rigid mechanical connection. If several detectors are used at the same time, it is advantageous to provide pin diaphragms in each case in an imaging plane of a detection optics in front of the corresponding detector device. This prevents crosstalk between the individual detectors and the recording of stray light from the surroundings of the excitation light spot.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a structure of an embodiment according to the invention.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic representation of a further embodiment of the present invention.
- a light emission device 10 which is, for example, a laser, emits a light beam 11 which strikes a first unit 30 with focusing optics for the light beam and detection optics for the secondary light.
- the first unit 30 comprises a carrier body 35 for holding a beam splitter cube 33, a focusing lens 34 for focusing the light emitted by the light emitting device 10 onto the sample, a detection lens 32 for detecting and collecting secondary light and a detector 31.
- the carrier body 35 has along the Path of propagation of the emission light beam 11 recesses, which allow a passage of the light beam 11.
- the beam splitter 33 is arranged in the optical path of the light beam 11 in such a way that the beam 11 is partially reflected essentially perpendicularly and then runs along an optical axis 12 running through the focusing lens 34.
- the part of the beam transmitted by the beam splitter 33 leaves the carrier body 35 at a corresponding second recess and meets a second unit 40 which is essentially identical to the first unit 30.
- the second unit 40 thus comprises a detector 41, a detection lens 42 for detecting and collecting the secondary light, a beam splitter 43 and focusing optics 44, all of which are held in a carrier body 45.
- the carrier body 45 again has suitably arranged recesses for the entry and exit of the beam 11, which is generated by the light emission device 10 and extends in a straight line.
- the two units 30 and 40 are mechanically coupled by means of a rigid connection 51. As indicated by the horizontal arrows, the units 30 and 40 can be moved together along the direction of propagation of the undeflected beam 11 emitted by the emission device 10.
- a sample 22 is arranged opposite the two focusing objectives 34 and 44 and is detachably held on a sample holder 20.
- the sample holder 20 is a turntable held on an axis of rotation 21. Clamping elements or vacuum suction lines (not shown) can be provided to hold the sample 22 on the turntable 20, but usually the normal friction of the sample on the base is sufficient.
- the distance between the units 30 and 40 is half the radius of the area to be scanned on the sample 22.
- the optical path of the light beam 11 emitted by the light emission device 10 initially runs essentially parallel to the surface of the sample 22 and becomes deflected in each case on the beam splitters 33 and 43 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the sample 22 in order to focus the excitation light via the focusing lenses 34 and 44 at two locations on the sample surface.
- the secondary light emitted by fluorescence from the sample surface goes into the upper half space (if the sample holder 20 absorbs). Only the part of the detector that can be picked up by the optics 34, 32 or 44, 42 is used for the detector. After collection by the focusing lenses 34 and 44, the secondary light passes to the beam splitters 33 and 43.
- the optical paths combined between the sample 22 and the two beam splitters for the excitation light and the secondary light are separated on the beam splitters 33 and 43. Part of the secondary light is reflected at the beam splitters 33 and 43 in the direction of the light-emitting device 10, while another part passes through the beam splitter cubes and strikes the respective detection objectives 32 and 42, which image the secondary light onto the corresponding detector 31 and 41, respectively.
- a polarizing beam splitter cube can be used, which reflects a polarized excitation light with high reflectivity in the direction of the samples.
- the fluorescent molecules are randomly distributed and emit in all polarization directions. Therefore, little is reflected toward the light emitting device 10 while most of the light passes through the beam splitter.
- the beam splitters have, for example, a split ratio of 50:50.
- a light emission device 110 for example a laser, generates an excitation light beam 111, which strikes a schematically illustrated beam expansion optics 115 for expanding the excitation light beam.
- the beam expansion optics 115 can at the same time contain a spatial filter to improve the beam quality.
- a dichroic beam splitter 164 in the optical path of the excitation light beam, which reflects the excitation light almost completely at a right angle in the direction of a sample 122.
- Focusing lens 165 is arranged, which focuses the excitation light on a small spot on the sample.
- the sample 122 is again releasably attached to a turntable 120 which is rotatably supported via an axis of rotation 121.
- the focusing optics 165 In the optical path of the fluorescent light emitted by the sample 122 lies first the focusing optics 165, followed by the dichroic beam splitter 164, which is designed in such a way that the fluorescent light differing in wavelength from the excitation light is almost completely transmitted to a detection optics 163, which focuses the fluorescent light on a pinhole 161, behind which a detector 162 is arranged.
- a blocking filter for suppressing stray light from the light emission device can be provided in front of the respective detectors.
- the blocking filter and the pinhole (which can of course also be provided in front of the detectors 31 and 41 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1) strongly suppress scattered excitation light and significantly improve the signal-to-noise ratio.
- the focusing lens 165 together with the beam splitter 164, the detection lens 163, the pinhole 161 and the detector 162 can be displaced along the optical axis of the excitation light beam 111 between the light generating device and the beam splitter.
- An emission filter could also be used on the pinhole 161 in order to select the wavelength of the emission light.
- optical fibers are used to couple the excitation light and to transmit the fluorescent light emitted by the sample to the detector, the beam splitter could be omitted.
- Such use of optical fibers in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 enables the detectors 31 and 41 to be arranged in a fixed manner with respect to the displacement movement of the focusing objective, a flexible connection between the detectors and the focusing optics being established by means of the optical fibers.
- the beam splitter cubes would be omitted and the detection units would be arranged on the side of the sample opposite the excitation side and the sample holder that is transparent in this case.
- the detection optics would then be coupled accordingly to the linear movement of the excitation light beam or beams on the sample 22.
- the use of beam shaping optics is advantageous.
- the sample is applied by means of a microspot application method to a carrier which is detachably attached to the sample holder.
- the carrier can be a circular disk or have any other flat shape.
- microdosing techniques for example using a microdro technology. This makes it possible to apply individual spot samples in the range of typically 30 to 100 ⁇ m in diameter.
- the invention provides the essential advantage that the positioning of the scanning light beam on the sample can be controlled more precisely due to the rotational movement or the linear movement than by means of a tilting of the tilting mirrors according to the prior art, in which an increase in a position tolerance as in a mirror galvanometer occurred.
- the scanning time can be shortened considerably, the rigid connection of the imaging and detection optics leading to an improvement in the positioning.
- the pinhole diaphragms arranged confocally in front of the detectors prevent the channels assigned to the two detectors from being crosstalked and suppress stray light from the surroundings of the excitation light spot, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio.
- the ability to use multiple light emitting devices and different filters increases the flexibility of the system.
