CAS-LIBB单粒子微束装置的微束入射点位置确定和系统定位精度研究

中国科学院离子束生物工程学重点实验室建成了一台单离子微束装置(CAS-LIBB)。CAS-LIBB装置由一台van de Graaff 静电加速器产生能量在2.0-3.0 MeV 的离子。该微束系统主要用于实施对生长在一种薄塑料膜上的细胞核的指定位置投射预定个数离子的技术。系统采用安装在束流末端的石英毛细玻璃管作为瞄准器来实现束流的微化并截取微束。细胞辐射实验中对细胞的识别和定位由一套计算机集成控制程序来完成。本文将从对微束的捕捉和定位（确定离子出口的准确位置），以及该微束系统的定位精度测量方面进行研究和讨论。当采用内径为5 μm,长度为980 μm的毛细管作瞄准器时，系统的定位精度为：91％的实验对象定位在距离预定位置2.4μm的范围内，98％的实验对象定位在距离预定位置3.6μm的范围内。

Studies of the beam finding and targeting accuracy of the CAS-LIBB single-particle microbeam

A single-particle microbeam facility has been constructed at the Key Laboratory of Ion Beam Bioengineering (LIBB), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). The system was designed to deliver a defined number of hydrogen ions produced by a Van de Graaff accelerator, in an energy range of 2.0--3.0MeV,into an area smaller than the nuclei of individual living cells grown on thin plastic films. The beam is collimated by a borosilicate glass capillary that forms the beam-line exit. An computer integrated control program is developed to recognize the cells and to target them one by one forirradiation.Experiments for finding (capturing and recognizing) the microbeam position in the microscope imaging system and measuring the overall targeting accuracy of the facility are presented in this article. When a borosilicate glass capillary with 5$mu$m inner diameter and 980$mu$mlength is used as the microbeam collimator, the overall targeting accuracy is that 91{%} aimed pit clusters are located within 2.4 $mu $m radius, and 98{%} are within 3.6 $mu $m radius.
