Abstract

The present invention discloses a multi-mode imaging optical system. The multi-mode imaging optical system includes a stage configured to hold a to-be-tested sample. An imaging unit implements in-situ imaging of the to-be-tested sample. An absorption and forward scattering illumination unit irradiates the to-be-tested sample, and forms absorption imaging or forward scattered light imaging in the imaging unit. A side scattering illumination unit performs a first oblique illumination on the to-be-tested sample, so that scattered light of microparticles in the to-be-tested sample forms side scattered light imaging in the imaging unit. A fluorescent illumination unit performs a second oblique illumination on the to-be-tested sample, and excites the microparticles in the to-be-tested sample to emit fluorescence, where the fluorescence forms fluorescence imaging in the imaging unit.
