The fluorescence confocal microendoscope provides high-resolution, in vivo imaging of cellular pathology during optical biopsy. The confocal microendoscope employs a flexible fiber-optic catheter coupled to a custom-built slit-scan confocal microscope. The catheter consists of a fiber-optic imaging bundle linked to a miniature objective and focus assembly. The 3-mm-diameter catheter may be used on its own or routed though the instrument channel of a commercial endoscope, adding microscopic imaging capability to conventional endoscopy. The design and performance of the miniature objective and focus assembly are discussed. Primary applications of the system include diagnosis of disease in the gastrointestinal tract and female reproductive system. 相似文献

We describe experiments conducted with two deformable mirrors (DMs) at fixed locations in an optical microscope imaging system. In this configuration, the DM shapes are controlled to provide 2.5× zoom capability, to allow dynamic focus control and to compensate for aberrations of the fixed optical components. Zoom is achieved by simultaneously adjusting focal lengths of the two DMs, which are inserted between an infinity-corrected microscope objective and a tube lens. Image quality is measured using contrast modulation, and performance of the system is quantified, demonstrating an improved point spread function in the adaptively compensated system. 相似文献

利用激光干涉仪对动态压力进行非接触测量时,压力腔中常设计光学窗口,目的是在动态压力环境与激光干涉仪间建立光学通道,利用激光干涉法使动态压力能溯源到时间、长度与静态压力上。由于在动态压力环境下光学窗口受到内外压差、温度梯度、振动等因素影响,将直接影响光学测量精度。针对上述问题,通过仿真分析方法,分析在动态压力环境下压力、温度、振动与光学窗口的影响关系,同时通过光学窗口在动态压力环境下试验,研究各影响分量对真实测量结果的影响,可为后续动态压力的校准和测量进行修正和补偿以及其他类似动态压力环境下的光学窗口设计提供依据。 相似文献

A new optical system for transmission optical projection tomography (TOPT) is presented to reduce the divergence of the projection data from the true parallel projections. This is performed by introducing an iris at the back focus of the objective lens. The influence of the defocusing on TOPT is demonstrated by computational simulations and experiments. We compare the performances of the new and conventional TOPT systems in order to optimize the optical system for three-dimensional imaging of the embryos of small animals. The optimal imaging performance is given by the new system with numerical apertures between 0.007 and 0.014, with which the spatial resolution of 25 microm is achieved. The optimal configuration is validated by TOPT of a phantom sample and a fixed five-day chick embryo. 相似文献

Three-dimensional object reconstructions is an active research area in digital imaging. In shape from focus approach, erroneous focus measurements result in inaccuracy in the depth map reconstruction of 2D object. Conventionally, to enhance the image focus volume, focus values are aggregated within a window, which is a linear filtering approach. Owing to the inherent limitation of linear process, optimal results may not be obtained. In order to overcome this limitation, a non-linear filtering approach is proposed to enhance the image focus volume for accurate depth estimation. The noisy focus values are restored in two steps. First, noisy focus values are detected using min–max operators. In order to increase the dynamic range between the minimum and the maximum focus values within the window, an appropriate power law function is designed. In second step, only the noisy measurements are replaced with the estimated ones. A refined depth map is obtained from the updated focus volume. This process continues until the difference between the previous and the current depth maps becomes very small. The performance of the proposed non-linear filtering approach is obtained for various synthetic and real objects. The results highlight the depth map estimates of the proposed approach more accurate while preserving object edges. Comparative analysis demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach. 相似文献

The polarization phase shift (PPS) has emerged as an important analytical tool in optical metrology. The present study utilizes the concept of controlling the polarization phase in applications such as focal shift and automatic focusing. When elliptically polarized light, in general, is incident upon a circularly symmetric polarization mask consisting of circular and annular zones with each zone having a unique linear polarizability, the polarization-phase difference introduced between the polarization-masked zones is also circularly symmetric. With the mask at the lens aperture, the polarization phase introduced is multiplicative with the lens function and is shown to result in a shift of the Gaussian focus plane. Because the polarization phase can be controlled by variation of the polarization parameters, the effective focal length of the imaging system can be varied within a small range. A study of the point-spread functions at the shifted focal planes has shown that the quality of the focal patch in these planes is comparable with that produced by a diffraction-limited imaging system at Gaussian focus. The shift of focus can be achieved by control of the polarization of the input beam. It is anticipated that this technique may find application in areas for which dynamic focusing within a small range is required. 相似文献

This paper provides an overview of optical imaging methods commonly applied to basic research applications. Optical imaging is well suited for non-clinical use, since it can exploit an enormous range of endogenous and exogenous forms of contrast that provide information about the structure and function of tissues ranging from single cells to entire organisms. An additional benefit of optical imaging that is often under-exploited is its ability to acquire data at high speeds; a feature that enables it to not only observe static distributions of contrast, but to probe and characterize dynamic events related to physiology, disease progression and acute interventions in real time. The benefits and limitations of in vivo optical imaging for biomedical research applications are described, followed by a perspective on future applications of optical imaging for basic research centred on a recently introduced real-time imaging technique called dynamic contrast-enhanced small animal molecular imaging (DyCE). 相似文献

The design of a desired optical transfer function (OTF) is a common problem that has many possible applications. A well-known application for OTF design is beam shaping for incoherent illumination. However, other applications such as optical signal processing can also be addressed with this system. We design and realize an optimal phase only filter that, when attached to the imaging lens, enables an optimization (based on the minimal mean square error criterion) to a desired OTF. By combining several OTF design goal requirements, each represents a different plane along the beam propagation direction, an imaging system with an increased depth of focus is obtained. Because a phase only filter is used, high energetic efficiency is achieved. 相似文献

Employing Bessel beams in imaging takes advantage of their self-reconstructing properties to achieve small focal points while maintaining a large depth of focus. Bessel beams are efficiently generated using axicons, and their utility in scanning imaging systems, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), has been demonstrated. As these systems are miniaturized to allow, for example, endoscopic implementations, micro-axicons are required to assure the maintenance of a large depth of focus. We demonstrate here the design, fabrication, and application of molded micro-axicons for use in silicon-based micro-optical benches. It is shown that arrangements of multiple convex and concave axicons may be implemented to optimize the depth of focus in a miniaturized OCT system, using a telescopic optical arrangement of considerably shorter optical system length than that achievable with classical micro-optics. 相似文献

The design, modeling, and experimental characterization of a microchannel-based free-space optical interconnect is described. The microchannel interconnect was used to implement a representative portion of an optical backplane that was based on field-effect transistor, self-electro-optic device smart-pixel transceivers. Telecentric relays were used to form the optical interconnect, and two modes based on two different optical window clusterings were implemented. The optical system design, including the optical geometry for different degrees of clustering of windows supported by a lenslet relay and the image mapping associated with a free-space optical system, is described. A comparison of the optical beam properties at the device planes, including the spot size and power uniformity of the spot array, as well as the effects of clipping and misalignment for the different operating modes, is presented. In addition, the effects of beam clipping and misalignment for the different operating modes is presented. We show that microchannel free-space optical interconnects based on a window-clustering scheme significantly increase the connection density. A connection density of 2222 connections/cm(2) was achieved for this prototype system with 2 x 2 window clustering. 相似文献

Reflectance of three paper grades was investigated using a pressure gauge, an imaging system, and a spectrophotometer. It was observed that under high pressure, dark-colored areas appear in paper when using the imaging system. The area of the dark pattern increases as the pressure is raised. Reflectance measurements as a function of wavelength confirmed that the dark patterns appear due to the contact of the paper and the probe window of the pressure gauge. Based on results by other researchers the amount and the nature of optical contact observed depends on structural properties of paper such as surface roughness, formation, and compressibility. Although there are differences in the spectral properties of different paper grades they all share the common feature that the reflectance is decreasing as a function of the applied pressure. An empiric result for the fine and the super-calendered (SC) paper samples measured is that they both have an exponential dependence of total reflectance as a function of applied pressure when the illumination wavelength is kept constant. 相似文献

We report a systematic investigation of the imaging behavior of an optical system consisting of a lens from a uniaxial birefringent crystal sandwiched between two linear polarizers into which primary spherical aberration has been introduced. The proposed system has higher tolerance to primary spherical aberration and has a larger depth of focus than an imaging system found with an isotropic lens. Some specific cases are computed and illustrated graphically. 相似文献

An auto-focusing method in a digital image system is demonstrated that uses a standard deviation of pixel gray levels as a feedback signal. In this system, an optical microscope and a charge coupled device (CCD) camera are used to create clear pit images of optical discs. A dynamic focusing scheme is designed in the system-control software, which is able to eliminate environmental disturbances and other noises so that a fast and stable focus can be achieved. The method shows an excellent focusing accuracy. The performance and possible applications of this method are discussed. The test results for optical discs are given in this paper. 相似文献

Miniaturized laboratories on chip platforms play an important role in handling life sciences studies. The platforms may contain static or dynamic biological cells. Examples are a fixed medium of an organ‐on‐a‐chip and individual cells moving in a microfluidic channel, respectively. Due to feasibility of control or investigation and ethical implications of live targets, both static and dynamic cell‐on‐chip platforms promise various applications in biology. To extract necessary information from the experiments, the demand for direct monitoring is rapidly increasing. Among different microscopy methods, optical imaging is a straightforward choice. Considering light interaction with biological agents, imaging signals may be generated as a result of scattering or emission effects from a sample. Thus, optical imaging techniques could be categorized into scattering‐based and emission‐based techniques. In this review, various optical imaging approaches used in monitoring static and dynamic platforms are introduced along with their optical systems, advantages, challenges, and applications. This review may help biologists to find a suitable imaging technique for different cell‐on‐chip studies and might also be useful for the people who are going to develop optical imaging systems in life sciences studies. 相似文献
