    摘要: The invention relates to a method for detecting emission light, in particular fluorescent light from at least one fluorescent dye, in a laser scanning microscope, wherein the emission light emanating from a sample is guided, by an imaging optical unit, onto a two-dimensional matrix sensor having a plurality of pixels and being located on an image plane, and a detection point distribution function is detected by the matrix sensor in a spatially oversampled manner. The method is characterized in that the emission light emanating from the sample is spectrally separated in a dispersion device, in particular in a dispersion direction; the spectrally separated emission light is detected by the matrix sensor in a spectrally resolved manner; and during the analysis of the intensities measured by the pixels of a pixel region, the spectral separation is cancelled at least for some of said pixels. Additional aspects of the invention relate to a detection device for the spectrally resolved detection of emission light in a laser scanning microscope and to a laser scanning microscope.

    摘要: An optical assembly that is designed for positioning in a beam path of a light microscope having means for providing structured illuminating light in a sample plane of the light microscope, so that structured illuminating light can be generated in different orientations. The optical assembly has an adjustable deflector in order to deflect an incident light bundle onto one of several beam paths in a selectable manner. Beam splitting devices are located in the beam paths in order to split the light bundle of the respective beam paths into partial light bundles, which are spatially separated from each other. Beam guides are provided for each of the partial light bundles, and guide the partial light bundles to a pupil plane. The beam guides are arranged in such a way that the partial light bundles that belong to the same beam path form a light spot pattern in the pupil plane; and that the light spot patterns of different beam paths in the pupil plane are different from each other.

    摘要: The invention relates to an optical group for detection light of a microscope, in particular a confocal scanning microscope, having an input plane (10) for the passage of detection light to be measured and having a detection beam path arranged downstream of the input plane for guiding the detection light (11) into a detection plane (67), wherein the detection beam path has at least one first beam course (1) having first optical beam-guiding means, in particular first lenses and/or mirrors (20, 30, 34, 36, 58, 60, 66), for guiding the detection light into the detection plane. In the first beam course, the optical group has at least one dispersive device (26) for the spatial spectral splitting of the detection light to be measured and a manipulation device (49) for manipulating the spectrally spatially split detection light. The first optical beam-guiding means together with the dispersive device and with the manipulation device are arranged and designed to produce a spectrally separated and diffraction-limited image of the Input plane into the detection plane. The optical group preferably has a second beam course (2) having optical beam-guiding means and has a selection device (22) for selecting the first beam course (1) or the second beam course (2). In further aspects, the invention relates to a method for microscopy and to a microscope.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for varying the size of the scanning field of a multifocal laser scanning microscope, said scanning field being scanned in X columns and Y lines, and n laser spots being arranged at a distance d from one another in the scanning field along the slow scanning axis in the sample plane, the distance between the scanned lines in the sample plane being a=d/K, where KεN, the size of the scanning field being varied by varying K. After scanning K lines, a vertical skip is made, e.g. a skip of (n−1)×K+1 lines in the scanning direction or (n+1)×K−1 lines against the scanning direction until at least Y lines have been scanned.

    摘要: A microscope, preferably a laser scanning microscope, with at least one illuminating beam, which in a partial area along the cross-section thereof, is phase-modulated with a modulation frequency. A microscope objective is provided for focusing the illumination beam onto a sample. The microscope further has a detection beam path and at least one demodulation means, wherein a pulsed illumination beam is present. In the illumination beam path upstream of the microscope objective, a first polarization beam splitter is provided, which generates at least first and second partial beam paths that have differing, preferably adjustable, optical paths. A combination element, such as a second pole splitter, for rejoining the partial beams is provided. In one partial beam path, a phase element is provided, which has at least two areas having differing phase interferences.
