单分子定位显微技术（Single Molecule Localization Microscopy，简称SMLM）是一种基于荧光显微技术的高分辨率成像方法，它的原理是通过利用单个荧光分子的闪烁信号来定位样品中的单个分子，从而实现高分辨率成像。

SMLM技术可以实现分子级别的可视化，其分辨率可以达到10纳米以下，远高于传统显微技术。

由于其高分辨率和高灵敏度，SMLM 技术已经成为生物学、化学、材料科学等多个领域中重要的研究工具。

一、原理SMLM的原理基于单个荧光标记的瞬时发光特性。

当激光或其他光源激发荧光标记时，标记会发射荧光光子。

这些光子在相机或光探测器上被捕获，并转化为电子信号。

在SMLM 中，通过分析这些光子的时间和空间分布，可以确定每个荧光标记的位置。

SMLM的关键在于利用光学显微镜的成像系统将荧光标记限制在光学焦点内，使得每次只有单个标记被激发发光。

因此，可以记录每个标记的光子发射时间和位置信息，并将这些信息用于精确定位标记的位置。

SMLM技术包括多种方法，其中最常用的是单分子激发的STORM（stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy）和PALM（photoactivated localization microscopy）。

在SMLM过程中，需要解决许多技术挑战，包括背景噪声的影响、荧光标记的失活和漂移等问题。

为了解决这些问题，研究者们开发了各种算法和图像处理技术，如滤波、校正和重建方法等。

这些技术的应用可以提高SMLM的空间分辨率和信噪比，并为更深入的细胞生物学研究提供了新的工具。

图 1 STORM其中，STORM是最常用的SMLM技术，其基本原理是利用亚波长分辨率下荧光发光的闪烁特性，对单个发光染料的位置进行定位，进而构建出超分辨率的图像。

STORM技术将样品在一定范围内随机激发，从而使样品中的荧光染料分子以随机的方式发光。

利用图像处理算法，可以对发光点的位置进行高精度的计算，得到超分辨率图像。

Gu ①②(① 华中科技大学武汉光电国家实验室(等), 武汉 430074; ② Centre for Micro-Photonics, Faculty of En-gineering and Industrial Sciences, Swinburne University of Technology, Hawthorn, Victoria 3122, Australia)摘要 在光学显微成像领域, 基于光纤的小型非线性光学显微镜和内窥镜作为传统显微镜和其他光学成像方法的一种重要补充形式, 近几年来受到人们的关注. 该文介绍和总结了光纤非线性光学显微成像技术及其在生物医学中的应用.首先介绍了结合非线性光学显微技术和单模光纤耦合器获得小型非线性光学显微镜的方法; 特别对基于双包层光子晶体光纤和微电机系统扫描镜的光纤非线性内窥成像系统进行了分析; 最后通过消化器官的组织成像实验说明了光纤非线性光学显微镜的重要应用. 研究证明了基于光纤和微电机系统MEMS 扫描镜的非线性内窥镜的新概念, 并用于生物组织的成像.关键词 非线性光学显微成像 光纤耦合器 双包层光子晶体光纤 微电机系统扫描镜 组织成像显微镜改变了人类认识世界的方法, 是人类历史上最重要的发明之一. 经过300多年的发展, 光学显微成像已成为自然科学研究领域中的重要分支, 为生命和信息等科学领域不断提供新方法和新概念[1]. 特别是上世纪末期出现的非线性光学显微镜具有光学层析能力并能在厚组织(毫米量级)内实现高空间分辨率(亚微米)成像, 是现代光学显微成像技术的革新, 为人们研究厚组织中的分子和细胞功能提供了有力的工具[2,3]. 非线性光学成像技术主要基于多光子吸收(multiphoton absorption)[4]、高次谐波(higher harmonic)[5]和相干反斯托克斯拉曼散射(coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering, CARS)[6]等光学非线性效应, 其中以双光子荧光成像的应用最为广泛. 自非线性光学显微镜诞生以来[4], 科学家们一直致力于将其用于活体(in vivo )成像. 然而, 复杂的光学系统和沉重的光学器件使非线性光学显微成像的研究局限于庞大的显微镜系统, 无法应用到活体的内部器官(internal organs)和整体动物(intact animals)成像.近年来, 随着新型光纤和微制造技术的迅猛发展, 光纤非线性显微镜和内窥镜(fiber-optic nonlinear optical microscopy/endoscopy)的研究正在扭转这一局面[7]. 光纤非线性显微镜和内窥镜是小型的非线性光学显微成像系统, 由光纤传输激发光或者非线性光信号, 并利用微型扫增刊付玲等: 光纤非线性光学显微成像139描机制构建光学图像. 光纤的超小尺寸(一般只有数百个微米的直径)与良好的机械和光学性能增加了成像系统的灵活性并减小了系统的尺寸, 使非线性光学成像技术在内部器官和活体动物中的研究成为可能. 自Denk研究小组和Gu研究小组先后研制出基于单模光纤的双光子荧光显微镜之后[8,9], 光纤非线性显微镜和内窥镜的研究在短短6年之内进展迅速[10~19]. 光纤非线性显微镜和内窥镜研究中的关键问题是: (ⅰ) 近红外波段超短脉冲激光的传输和非线性光信号的收集. 光纤的色散和自相位调制等非线性效应会导致脉冲宽度和光谱的展宽, 降低激发效率[20]; 光纤的低数值孔径和小芯径限制了可见光信号的高效收集、系统的信噪比和成像深度. (ⅱ) 扫描机制. 扫描器件应该具有毫米量级的尺寸, 并能实现快速扫描和高图像分辨率来实时监测生物过程. (ⅲ) 系统设计. 系统设计是非线性内窥镜研究的关键, 直接决定了系统的灵活性, 功能和应用范围. 该文研究了基于单模光纤耦合器(single-mode fibre coupler)和双包层光子晶体光纤(double-clad photonic crystal fibre, DCPCF)的非线性光学显微成像系统, 首次实现了基于光纤耦合器的双光子荧光和二次谐波显微成像技术, 并证明了基于DCPCF和微电机系统(microelectromechanical system, MEMS)扫描镜的非线性内窥镜的新概念, 使光纤成像系统的信噪比提高了两阶.1基于单模光纤耦合器的非线性光学显微镜Bird和Gu[10,11]首次将单模光纤耦合器引入双光子荧光显微成像, 证明了三端口的单模光纤耦合器能传输近红外波段的超短脉冲激发光并收集荧光. 与基于单模光纤的非线性光学显微镜相比[9], 使用单模光纤耦合器能将非线性显微镜的纵向分辨率提高30%, 且使系统更紧凑并具有自准直的特性. 然而, 二次谐波比双光子荧光更远离单模光纤耦合器的工作波长; 二次谐波源于相干过程, 其偏振各向异性的测量(polarisation anisotropy measurement)要求光纤耦合器能同时传输偏振的激发光和谐波信号[15]. 因此, 我们首先研究了单模光纤耦合器在不同波长的传输特性, 结果如图1(a). 实验中端口3单模光纤耦合器(Newport, F-CPL-S12785)的工作波长为780 nm, 分束比(Splitting ratio)是50:50, 纤芯与包层的直径分别为5和125 μm. 当波长范围在770~870 nm时, 耦合器中端口3~1的耦合效率为20%~41%; 端口2~1在435~532 nm 波长范围内的耦合效率为29%~41%. 当长度为2 m的光纤耦合器传输80~150 mW的激发光至样品端时, 尽管光纤中的群速度色散和自相位调制使脉冲展宽到数皮秒, 系统仍有足够的激发光功率用于非线性成像. 实验结果还表明, 单模光纤耦合器在可见光波段的功能类似于普通光学显微镜中的二向色镜(Dichroic mirror). 当435 nm的激光耦合入端口1, 端口2和端口3的分束比为99.6:0.4, 而且两个端口的输出模式分别表现出单模和多模的特征(图1(b), (c)). 532 nm的激光在单模光纤耦合器中传播时, 测量得到的分束比和输出模式也具有相同特征(图1(d)). 因此, 为了优化在基于单模光纤耦合器的非线性显微镜系统中激发光与非线性信号的传输, 超短脉冲激光通过端口3(激发臂)传递到端口1(样品臂), 后向散射的双光子荧光和二次谐波则由端口1通过端口2(信号臂)被探测器收集(图1). 光纤纤芯能消除焦点以外的杂散光, 在成像系统中具有共聚焦针孔(Pinhole)的功能.除了单模光纤耦合器传输特性的研究, 二次谐波光谱的研究也是验证光纤成像系统的关键. 在图1的实验系统中, 我们以AF-50为样品, 用光谱仪(Acton Research Corporation)测量了经过单模光纤耦合器的双光子荧光和二次谐波的光谱. 当激发波长是800 nm时, 通过单模光纤耦合器的辐射谱包含400 nm的二次谐波谱线和430~600 nm的双光子荧光(图2). 二次谐波140中国科学G辑物理学力学天文学第37卷的光谱宽度约为9 nm, 约为激发光带宽的. 当激发光在780~870 nm范围内调谐时, 二次谐波光谱的中心波长则随激发光波长改变, 始终展示出倍频的特性.图1 基于单模光纤耦合器的双光子荧光和二次谐波成像系统(a) 单模光纤耦合器在可见光和近红外波段的耦合效率.

(c) 二次谐波的强度与探测器前偏振片转角的cos2θ 关系2基于双包层光子晶体光纤的非线性光学内窥镜由于单模光纤能传输高质量的激光束并改善成像系统的层析能力, 因而在光纤成像系统中被普遍采用. 但是单模光纤的低数值孔径(约0.1~0.2)和较小的纤芯尺寸极大地限制了对生物样品中微弱光信号的收集和探测, 使非线性光学显微镜系统的灵敏度较低. 作为光纤领域的革新产物, 光子晶体光纤能通过设计光纤中二维光子晶体的结构实现普通光纤不能具备的功能, 彻底地改变了光纤传输光束的方式. 我们首次改造了有源的DCPCF, 并将其用于光学显微成像来提高系统的灵敏度. 由于MEMS器件具有小尺寸、低功耗、利于建造“芯片显微镜”等优点, 显微内窥成像系统中的扫描机制则由MEMS扫描镜来实现. 基于DCPCF和MEMS 扫描镜的非线性内窥成像系统如图4. 飞秒脉冲光经过光栅对(Newport, 1200 grooves/mm)和一个显微物镜(Melles Griot, 4×/0.12NA)后被耦合到DCPCF. 光纤中出射的光经过MEMS扫描镜后被渐变折射率(Gradient index, GRIN)透镜聚焦到样品上. 非线性光信号则通过MEMS扫描镜后被DCPCF收集到探测器.142 中国科学 G 辑 物理学 力学 天文学 第37卷图4 基于DCPCF 和MEMS 扫描镜的非线性光学内窥镜系统右上角是双包层光子晶体光纤的扫描电子显微镜图像与800 nm 激发光输出模式的叠加, 右下角是能实现两维扫描的MEMS 扫描镜非线性光学内窥成像系统中的DCPCF 是由用于光纤激光器的有源DCPCF 演化而来. 我们除去了有源光纤纤芯中的掺杂元素, 其目的是使近红外波段的激发光能在纤芯进行单模传输, 而位于可见光波段的非线性光信号则能被具有高数值孔径的内包层收集[16]. 成像系统中DCPCF(Crystal Fiber A/S)的纤芯和内包层直径分别为20和165 μm(图4). 纤芯被孔间距比(Hole to hole pitch ratio)为0.26的空气小孔包围. DCPCF 的内包层和外包层则被由一圈空气小孔分开, 使内包层拥有高数值孔径(~ 0.6). 需要指出的是, 这种大面积和高数值孔径的光纤只能利用光子晶体的结构实现, 而非普通光纤的制造技术. 通过对DCPCF 光传输特性的研究, 我们发现如果选择与纤芯数值孔径接近的耦合物镜, 改造过后的DCPCF 在410~870 nm 的耦合效率可达到80%~90%(图5). 而使用高数值孔径(0.65)的耦合物镜则会导致光泄露到内包层, 使耦合效率降低20%. 因此, 低数值孔径的耦合物镜能使近红外光耦合到纤芯中的效率为28%, 可见光耦合到内包层的效率为90%, 此数值是单模光纤对可见光耦合效率的两倍.GRIN 透镜是一种利用特定折射率分布使光线聚焦的小型透镜. 当光纤和GRIN 透镜结合用于非线性光学成像系统, GRIN 透镜的有效数值孔径依赖于光纤和GRIN 透镜之间的距离, 因而直接影响到光纤成像系统的效果[23]. 例如,光束的耦合效率与有效数值孔径有关; 成像的分辨率与有效数值孔径的平方成正比; 双光子荧光的强度与有效数值孔径的4次方成正比. 因此, 研究光纤系统的纵向分辨率和信号水平随光纤和GRIN 透镜距离的变化是优化系统设计的重要途径. 实验采用了直径为0.5 mm, 节距(pitch)为0.2, 数值孔径为0.5的GRIN 透镜(GRINTECH)和AF-50为样品. 实验结果表明, 当DCPCF 与GRIN 透镜之间的距离增大时, 双光子荧光成像的纵向分辨率逐渐得到改善, 而且探测到的荧光强度逐渐增大(图6(a)).如果光纤与透镜之间图5 双包层光子晶体光纤在可见至近红外波段的耦合效率增刊付玲等: 光纤非线性光学显微成像143的距离为5 mm, 激发光束充满GRIN透镜的后孔径, 系统能得到最佳的纵向分辨率, 即双光子荧光和二次谐波的纵向分辨率分别为6和5.4 μm (图6(b)). 与基于单模光纤耦合器和GRIN透镜的非线性显微镜系统相比, 由于DCPCF具有高数值孔径和大截面面积, 使用DCPCF取代单模光纤能实现纵向分辨率和非线性光信号的同时最优化, 而使用单模光纤的成像系统在探测到的荧光信号最强时却不具备最高的纵向分辨率[17,23].图6(a) 双光子荧光强度和纵向分辨率随GRIN透镜和光纤间距的变化, 荧光强度和纵向分辨率能在间距较大时被同时优化;(b) 双光子荧光与二次谐波的纵向响应曲线MEMS扫描镜是成像系统中实现二维光束扫描的器件. 我们使用的MEMS扫描镜是基于电热驱动(Electrothermal actuation)的原理, 在驱动电压少于12 V的情况下其光学扫描角度可达到30°[24]. 镜面的尺寸为0.5 mm, 表面铝膜对800 nm激发光的发射率约为80%(图4). 通过在MEMS扫描镜的快、慢轴应用特殊设计的波形和2.5~7.5 V的电压, 激光束的反射角被改变从而实现二维的线扫描(raster scanning), 其扫描速率为7线/s. 图7(a)是由基于DCPCF、MEMS 扫描镜、和GRIN透镜的显微镜系统获得的荧光微球的双光子荧光图像. 此结果证明了MEMS 扫描镜不仅能传递近红外超短脉冲用于非线性效应的激发, 而且能收集位于可见波段的荧光信号; 飞秒脉冲经过MEMS镜面之后, 脉冲大约展宽了25%, 故可通过镀膜技术来改善这一现象. 更重要的是, 以MEMS扫描镜作为扫描机制的非线性光学成像系统所产生的图像与通过普通扫描台获得的图像高度一致(图7(b)).图7 基于DCPCF, MEMS扫描镜、GRIN透镜(a)和基于单模光纤耦合器、扫描台、GRIN透镜(b)的显微镜系统对微球的双光子荧光成像标尺为10 μm144中国科学G辑物理学力学天文学第37卷DCPCF的独特光学性质使非线性显微镜成像系统的灵敏度得到极大改善. 通过比较由DCPCF和单模光纤耦合器得到的双光子荧光图像(图7(a)和(b)), 我们发现DCPCF的应用使成像系统的信号水平提高了两个量级. 如果使用光栅对补偿脉冲光在DCPCF中经历的群速度色散, 成像系统的信号水平将会在此基础上再提高一个量级. 成像系统灵敏度的改善主要是因为DCPCF比单模光纤具有更高的数值孔径和更大截面面积, 减少了飞秒脉冲在光纤中传输的自相位调制效应, 使飞秒脉冲具有最小的畸变, 而且对GRIN透镜的色差有更强的兼容性.3基于光纤非线性光学显微镜的组织成像利用基于DCPCF, MEMS扫描镜和GRIN透镜的非线性光学内窥镜系统(图4), 我们对大鼠的大肠和胃部组织进行了成像, 结果如图8. 为了增加荧光成像的对比度, 大肠和胃部组织从大鼠(Sprague-Dawley)中剥离后, 用浓度为1%的Acridine Orange(Sigma)对其内表面上皮组织染色, 成像实验在大鼠牺牲后两小时之内完成. 大肠组织双光子荧光成像的穿透深度约为100 μm, 图8(a)是双光子荧光成像的截面之一. 光纤显微镜系统能清晰地显示表面上皮细胞和肠道孔穴(intestinal crypts, 箭头)的形态信息. 从大鼠胃部组织获取的双光子荧光图像(图8(b))展示出与大肠截然不同的形态结构, 显微系统的分辨率亦能将胃部的坑穴(gastric pits, 箭头)从上皮细胞中区分出来.图8 使用基于DCPCF, MEMS扫描镜和GRIN透镜的光纤内窥镜系统对大鼠大肠组织(a)和大鼠胃部组织(b)的双光子荧光成像标尺为20 μm4总结和展望本文介绍和总结了基于单模光纤耦合器和DCPCF的非线性显微镜系统及其生物医学应用. 单模光纤耦合器能传递近红外波段的激发光和收集可见光波段的双光子荧光和二次谐波, 并在非线性显微镜系统中展示出二向色镜的特性. 基于单模光纤耦合器的成像系统能保持激发光和二次谐波的线性偏振态并用于研究结构蛋白的形态. 通过引入新型的DCPCF, 光纤非线性光学显微镜的灵敏度得到极大改善. MEMS扫描镜和GRIN透镜的结合使基于DCPCF的成像系统更加小型化, 大鼠大肠和胃部的组织成像也证明了非线性光学内窥镜系统的可行性. 在将来的研究中, DCPCF耦合器[25]与内窥镜系统将会实现整个成像系统的全光纤化, 这对光纤非线性光学显微镜的发展有着重要意义. 另外, 此光纤成像技术也可与显微成像领域中新的扫描技术[26,27]结合, 拓展多光子荧光成像的应用. 随着光纤器件和微制造技术的不断发展, 光纤非线性光学显微镜系统将日趋小型化, 为传统的光学显微成像技术提供重要的补充并在生物医学领域发挥作用.增刊付玲等: 光纤非线性光学显微成像145参考文献1 Yuste R.
