Abstract: A fluorescence hyperspectral microscopy system featuring structured illumination and parallel recording includes a light projection sub-system, a detection sub-system, and an electrical controller. The light projection sub-system includes a digital light processing (DLP) module for generating linear excitation light, a first lens set, an optical path allocation element, and an objective lens. The detection sub-system includes a second lens set, a frequency-dividing reflection element, a two-dimensional light detector, and a light collection element. With the detection sub-system performing detection in conjunction with the light projection sub-system, and the electrical controller controlling the DLP module, a two-dimensional moving platform, and the two-dimensional light detector, the fluorescence hyperspectral microscopy system provides increased resolution and can obtain accurate information in spatial and spectral dimensions and hence a four-dimensional hyperspectral image of the object under detection.

Abstract: The present invention provides a measurement system of real-time spatially-resolved spectrum and time-resolved spectrum and a measurement module thereof. The measurement system includes an excitation light and a measurement module. The excitation light excites a fluorescent sample and the measurement module receives and analyzes fluorescence emitted by the fluorescent sample. The measurement module includes a single-photon linear scanner and a linear CCD spectrometer. The single-photon linear scanner selectively intercepts a light beam component of a multi-wavelength light beam that has a predetermined wavelength to generate a single-wavelength time-resolved signal, wherein the multi-wavelength light beam is generated by splitting the fluorescence. The linear CCD spectrometer receives the multi-wavelength light beam and generates a spatially-resolved full-spectrum fluorescence signal. With the implementation of the present invention, the spatially-resolved full-spectrum fluorescence signal and the single-wavelength time-resolved signal can be observed at the same time. Thus, the facility of a fluorescence spectrometer is improved.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a moving platform infrared image-spectrum associated detection system, including an optical hood, a broadband optical system, a two-dimensional servo system, an infrared optical fiber, a Fourier interference spectrum module, an image-spectrum associated detection processing module, a power supply module, and a display module. Incident light enters from the optical hood to the broadband optical system, and is split by a spectroscope. Transmitted light is focused by a long-wave imaging lens group on an infrared detector for imaging. Reflected light is focused by a broadband spectrum lens group to an optical fiber coupler, enters the Fourier interference spectrum module through the infrared optical fiber to form an interference pattern, and undergoes Fourier transform to obtain spectral data. The image-spectrum associated detection processing module effectively merges infrared imaging and broadband spectral data, and the two-dimensional servo system is used to control a center orientation of the broadband optical system, thereby implementing target detection, tracking and spectrum measurement in a moving platform condition. The present invention can effectively isolate the system from disturbance of the moving platform, has the capability of simultaneously performing scene imaging, local area spectrum measurement, and multi-target tracking spectrum measurement, has a high speed and an adequate data amount, and has a broad application prospect.
