    摘要: An imaging system uses a multi-view reflector (MVR) to simultaneously measure the three-dimensional (3D) position and orientation of a light emitter. The MVR is positioned at a back focal plane (BFP) of a light collecting optical system, and uses pyramid reflectors and/or conical reflectors to reflect light in at least two regions of the BFP to at least two detection channels of a detector. The at least two detection channels produce images that are used to determine the 3D position and orientation of a light emitter. The system may be used, for example, to image the structure of molecules or organelles in a cell, track the movement of molecules in a cell, or to study the interaction of molecules within a cell.

    摘要: An optical beam splitter including an at least partially semi-transparent layer. The at least partially semi-transparent layer includes at least one first region having a first transmission coefficient and a first reflection coefficient for visible light and at least one second region having a second transmission coefficient for visible light. The first transmission coefficient is larger than 0 and the first reflection coefficient is larger than 0. The second transmission coefficient differs from the first transmission coefficient. The optical beam splitter is configured so that visible light passing the at least partially semi-transparent layer through the at least one first region propagates along a first optical output path of the optical beam splitter and visible light reflected by the at least one first region propagates along a second optical output path of the optical beam splitter.

    摘要: The present disclosure discloses a total internal reflection fluorescence imaging system and a sequencing device. The total internal reflection fluorescence imaging system includes a first imaging system and a second imaging system. The first imaging system includes N separate laser light paths. The second imaging system determines the changes of the height of the sample by means of the differences of the positions at which the second receiving device acquires the second images, and performs automatic compensation according to the changes of the height of the sample, so as to ensure that the sample is always at a focused position. The embodiment can perform light path adjustment of the N separate laser light paths respectively by means of the second imaging system, so as to realize that the N separate laser light paths have the same penetration depth. Therefore no further light path adjustment is required when switching between different light sources, thus saving the time consuming for light path adjustment.

    摘要: A three-dimensional position information acquiring method includes acquiring an image of a first optical image; thereafter acquiring an image of a second optical image; and performing a computation using image data of the first and second optical images. Acquisition of the image of the first optical image is based on light beams having passed through a first area. Acquisition of the image of the second optical image is based on light beams having passed through a second area. The positions of the centers of the first and second areas are both away from the optical axis of an optical system in a plane perpendicular to said optical axis. The first and second areas respectively include at least portions that do not overlap with each other. Three-dimensional position information about an observed object is acquired by the computation. The first and second areas are formed at rotationally symmetric positions. The computation performs subtraction processing using data of the first and second images, generates a subtracted image and then determined whether the observed object is displaced on the front or rear side relative to an in-focus position.
