项目摘要

The present study has aimed to construct 'bright' confocal imaging system using conventional light source, under the basis of the moire fluorescent microscopy previously developed by authors.At the first stage (1992), theoretical analysis has been carried out for the 3-dimensional optical transfer function (3D OTF) with respect to the Petran type real time fluorescent confocal microscope with a random pattern mask instead of the conventional pin hole array on the Nipkow disk. The analysis shows that mixing of the conventional image components in the 'bright' confocal image is unavoidable under the usage of the random mask pattern. Therefore, the use of the previously developed real time active 3D filter (real time 3D active convolver) is highly desirable to eliminate the conventional image components.The development of the confocal fluorescent microscope system (based on the commercial Petran type confocal fluorescent microscope, K2-BIO) quipped the real time 3D active convolver and related control circuits has been done at the next stage (1993). Improvement of the 3D imaging characteristics have been confirmed at the usage of the 3D active convolver from present evaluation experiments, although the applied 3D weighting function is not suitable for the real time processing in this time. We have, therefore, proposed another approach for the elimination of the conventional image components, combination of a spatially split alternative mask pattern (random and uniform) for the Nipkow disk and the real time image subtraction. The possibility of this approach has been also confirmed at the present evaluation experiments.

本研究的目的是在作者先前开发的莫尔荧光显微镜的基础上，利用常规光源构建明亮的共焦成像系统。在第一阶段(1992)，对采用随机图案掩模的Petran型实时荧光共焦显微镜的三维光学传递函数(3DOTF)进行了理论分析，而不是在Nipkow盘上使用传统的针孔阵列。分析表明，在使用随机掩模图案的情况下，“明亮”共焦图像中常规图像分量的混合是不可避免的。因此，使用以前开发的实时有源3D滤光片(实时3D有源卷积器)来消除常规图像分量是非常必要的。下一阶段(1993)已经完成了基于商用Petran型共聚焦荧光显微镜K2-BIO的实时3D有源卷积器和相关控制电路的开发。从目前的评价实验来看，3D主动卷积器的使用已经证实了3D成像特性的改善，尽管所应用的3D加权函数不适合在这个时候进行实时处理。因此，我们提出了另一种消除传统图像分量的方法，即结合Nipkow盘的空间分裂的可选掩模图案(随机和均匀)和实时图像相减。目前的评估实验也证实了这种方法的可能性。
