Abstract: A detection device (113) for a microscope comprises a dispersive element (211) in the beam path (290) of light and a selection element (212). The selection element (212) separates a beam path (291) of a spectral portion of the light from the beam path (290) of the light. The detector device (113) furthermore comprises a focusing optical unit (213) configured to focus the beam path (291) of the spectral portion of the light onto a sensor (214). By way of example, the microscope may be a confocal microscope.

Abstract: A laser-scanning microscope having an illumination-beam path and a detection-beam path and a microscope objective. A component for generating a plurality of scanning beams from at least one illumination beam is located in the illumination-beam path. A wedge-shaped, light-transmitting first component part provided in the illumination beam path generates spatially offset partial beams, the scanning beams being generated at the first component part by multiple reflections at an at least partially partially-reflecting surface. The microscope has a one-dimensional scanner for moving the scanning beams over a sample in the illumination beam path. The scanning beams have at least partially relative to one another a non-zero angle upstream of the objective in the illumination direction. The scanning beams can intersect at least partially in the objective pupil of the microscope objective. Additional compensation elements are provided for the scanning beams to compensate for a spectral dispersion and/or the beam direction.

Abstract: A method for evaluating signals of fluorescence scanning microscopy with simultaneous excitation and detection of fluorescence in different focal planes of a sample by means of confocal laser scanning microscopy. The invention evaluates signals of fluorescence scanning microscopy without the signal losses usually taking place with a confocal aperture, by coupling an illumination beam into a microscope observation beam path which images a measuring volume on a detector array arranged in the image plane, focusing the illumination beam which passes through a beam-forming phase mask for generating an elongated focus in the measuring volume, collecting and collimating fluorescent light generated in the measuring volume and routing it to diffractive optics which split the light beams into different diffraction orders and impress a different spherical phase on the light beams, imaging the different diffraction orders on detector regions of the detector array so that fluorescent light from focal planes at different depths of the measuring volume are associated with different diffraction orders, and associating the fluorescence signals on which crosstalk is superposed from different focal planes of the measuring volume with defined focal planes by means of correlation-based association based on distinguishable blinking behavior of fluorescing dyes.

Abstract: A microscopy method for three-dimensionally imaging an object, including imaging the object along a beam path into a first image on a first image plane. A first microlens array is arranged on the first image plane, and a second microlens array with the same pitch is arranged downstream of the first array. The two arrays laterally segment the first image and image same into a second image in which the segments are spaced apart and separated by gaps. On a pupil plane downstream of the microlens array, a phase mask is provided which generates a spot for each segment of the second image according to a pixel diffusion function. A detector detects the shape and structure of the spot, and a controller ascertains a lateral intensity distribution and depth specification from the shape and/or structure of the spot for each segment and generates a depth-resolved image of the object therefrom.

Abstract: An arrangement for microscopy, having an illumination optical unit with an illumination objective for illuminating a specimen situated on a specimen carrier in a specimen region of a specimen plane via an illumination beam path. An optical axis of the illumination objective lies in a plane which includes an illumination angle that differs from zero with the normal of a specimen plane, in respect of which the specimen carrier is aligned, and the illumination is implemented in the plane. Further, a detection optical unit with a detection objective is located in a detection beam path. The optical axis of the detection objective includes a detection angle that differs from zero with the normal of the specimen plane. The illumination objective and/or the detection objective comprises an illumination correction element arranged in the beam path and/or a detection correction element. A meniscus lens is located between the specimen carrier and the illumination and detection objectives, said meniscus lens being arranged both in the illumination beam path and in the detection beam path and being configured to correct aberrations. The illumination correction element and/or the detection correction element is/are configured to correct remaining aberrations.

Abstract: Scanning fluorescence microscopes with an observation beam path from a measurement volume to an image plane. A beam combiner is provided for coupling an illumination system and a diaphragm arranged in the image plane for slow composition of the image because of the sequential scanning and subject the sample to loading as a result of inefficient use of the excitation light. The microscope simultaneously detects fluorescence from different focal planes in each case quasi-confocally. The observation beam path between the beam combiner and the image plane has a first diffractive optics for splitting light beams into beam bundles along different orders of diffraction, imparting to the light beams a spherical phase that is different from the other orders of diffraction. A second diffractive optics is provided for the compensation of chromatic aberrations of the split beam bundles, and a collecting optics is provided for focusing split beam bundles into the image plane.
