  • Patent number: 11893719
    Abstract: A single-shot differential phase contrast quantitative phase imaging method based on color multiplexing illumination. A color multiplexing illumination solution is used to realize single-shot differential phase contrast quantitative phase imaging. In the single-shot color multiplexing illumination solution, three illumination wavelengths of red, green, and blue are used to simultaneously illuminate a sample, and the information of the sample in multiple directions is converted into intensity information on different channels of a color image. By performing channel separation on this color image, the information about the sample at different spatial frequencies can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 11781966
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a three-dimensional diffraction tomography microscopy imaging method based on LED array coded illumination. Firstly, acquiring the raw intensity images, three sets of intensity image stacks are acquired at different out-of-focus positions by moving the stage or using electrically tunable lens. And then, after acquiring the intensity image stacks of the object to be measured at different out-of-focus positions, the three-dimensional phase transfer function of the microscopy imaging system with arbitrary shape illumination is derived. Further, the three-dimensional phase transfer function of the microscopic system under circular and annular illumination with different coherence coefficients is obtained as well, and the three-dimensional quantitative refractive index is reconstructed by inverse Fourier transform of the three-dimensional scattering potential function. The scattering potential function is converted into the refractive index distribution.

  • Patent number: 11487096
    Abstract: The patent discloses a differential phase contrast (DPC) quantitative phase microscopy method based on the optimal illumination pattern design. Firstly, the optimal illumination pattern corresponding to the isotropic phase transfer function of DPC quantitative phase imaging is derived, which is determined as a semi-annular illumination pattern with the illumination numerical aperture NAill equal to the numerical aperture NAobj of the objective lens. The illumination intensity distribution varies with the cosine of the illumination angle, and it can be expressed as S(?)=cos(?). This patent effectively compensates for the frequency loss of phase transfer, not only the high-frequency responses of PTF are enhanced, but also the transfer responses of low-frequency phase information is significantly improved.

  • Patent number: 6844516
    Abstract: A wire cut electric discharge machine having rollers is disclosed. It has a wire electrode disposed in a working zone of the electric discharge machine. This wire electrode is rolled by a rolling device so that the cross-sectional area of this wire electrode changes from a circular area into an elongated one. After rolled, the wire electrode has two parallel rolled flat surfaces. The working width between these flat surfaces is smaller than the original diameter of the wire electrode before rolled. So, the cutting width is narrower than before. By using the rolled wire electrode, this invention can reduce the cutting width limit. I can improve the precision of the product, without changing the material property of the wire electrode. And, it can reduce the cost of the wire electrode.
