- both of <A> and <B> or one of them are provided integrally, and furthermore, <C> a part or the entirety of a signal processing system and an electric circuit for transmitting and receiving the detection results are provided integrally with <B>.
- Needless to say, the thermal lens microscope is a system for detecting the substances in a sample by inputting an excitation light and a probe light for inputting the probe light to a thermal lens formed according to the irradiation of the excitation light into the sample, and measuring the probe light diffusion by the thermal lens.
- According to the thermal lens microscope device of this invention as mentioned above, as conventionally proposed by the present inventors, a light transmissible cell substrate such as a glass, a silicon and a plastic with micro, fine channels (liquid passage paths), ports (liquid storage parts), or the like formed by etching, is used as an analyzing cell. Then, a substrate for supporting the analyzing cell can be made of a similar light transmissible material such that the analyzing cell is supported on one side thereof, or it is supported by clamping from both the upper and lower sides. The supporting forms may be varied.
- Then, the above-mentioned <A>, <B> and <C> may be integrated partially or entirely with the analyzing cell or the substrate for supporting the same. Here, “integrated” means that they are not disposed outside the analyzing cell or the substrate with a space disposed therebetween, but they are abutted on or embedded in the inside or the surface of the analyzing cell or the substrate.
- FIG. 1 is a plane view, a front view and a bottom view showing an example of a thermal lens microscope device of this invention. For example, as shown as an example in FIG. 1, the device main body has an analyzing cell (1) clamped by an upper substrate (2A) and a lower substrate (2B), and a lens system (5) including a beam expander, a collimator lens, or the like, an optical system of the thermal lens microscope including a dichroic mirror (6) a prism (7), or the like are provided integrally with the upper substrate (2A) together with an excitation light source (3) and a probe light source (4). An objective lens (8) may further be integrated immediately below the prism (7) by embedding.
- Moreover, in the upper substrate (2A), a sample or reaction chemical inlet(9) and a liquid outlet (10) are formed so as to each communicate with a micro channel (11) provided in the analyzing cell (1).
- In contrast, in the lower substrate (2B) , a detecting optical system including a prism (12), a mirror, a filter (13), or the like, and an optical detector (14) are provided integrally.
- FIG. 2 shows an example in which the above-mentioned elements of the thermal lens microscope system including the excitation light source (3) are provided integrally by embedding the same in the upper substrate (2A) and the lower substrate (2B) instead of providing the same integrally on the surface of the upper substrate (2A) and the lower substrate (2B) as in the above-mentioned example of FIG. 1. According to such various kinds of the configurations, the thermal lens microscope devices of this invention can be provided.
- Of course, this invention includes those having a part of the elements such as a light source and a detector disposed outside the upper and lower substrates (2A), (2B). The system configuration can be changed according to the use condition, the use environment, or the like.
- In any case, for the excitation light source (3), various kinds of small size laser light sources such as a small size semiconductor laser and a semiconductor laser excitation solid laser can be used. The excitation light outputted from the excitation light source (3) is for example modulated by a chopper and furthermore it is radiated from a beam expander as a plane wave.
- In contrast, the probe light outputted from the probe light source (4) as a small size laser light source like the excitation light source (3) is radiated as a parallel light beam flux for example by a collimator lens so as to be synthesized by the dichroic mirror (6) concentrically with the excitation light.
- The synthesized light made from the excitation light and the probe light passes through the prism (7) and the objective lens (8) so as to be directed to a liquid sample in the analyzing cell (1). Inside the sample, a thermal lens is formed based on the photothermal conversion phenomenon by a part of the excitation light comprising the synthesized light, and the probe light passed through the thermal lens is diffused so as to transmit through the sample together with the excitation light, which has not been concerned with the photothermal conversion. In principle, the excitation light is influenced by the thermal lens, however, only to a slight degree compared with the probe light.
- The sample is tested in the above-mentioned injecting day. For example, it is injected independently from for example a complexing agent, an immune response reagent, or the like. According to the reaction in the micro channel (11), the micro component in the sample can be detected by the above-mentioned thermal lens microscope.
- For example, as to the quantitative analysis of a nitrogen oxide, a nitrogen oxide in the cigarette smoke is oxidized and absorbed in an alkaline (pH 13) aqueous solution of a hydrogen peroxide as a nitrous acid ion and reacting the same with an N-1-naphthyl ethylene diamine as a color developing reagent so as to develop a reddish purple color (peak absorbance wavelength544 nm). This can be detected by the thermal lens microscope by the light irradiation to the micro channel (11). As the excitation light, a semiconductor YAG laser (second harmonic) having a 532 nm wavelength and a 100 mW output can be used. Moreover, as the probe light, a semiconductor laser having a 680 nm wavelength and a 5 mW output can be used.
- Industrial Applicability
