Abstract
A scanning microscope having a light source that emits illuminating light for illumination of a specimen, having at least one first detector for detection of the detected light proceeding from the specimen, having an objective being arranged in both an illumination beam path and a detection beam path, and having a coupling-out element that is selectably for descan detection and non-descan detection positionable in the illumination and detection beam path, is disclosed.
Claims20
A scanning microscope comprising:
- a light source for emitting illuminating light for illumination of a specimen,
- at least one first detector for descan detection of the detection light proceeding from the specimen,
- an objective being arranged in both an illumination beam path and a detection beam path,
- a coupling-out element being insertable into the illumination and detection beam path for non-descan detection, and removable from the illumination and detection beam path for descan detection
A coupling-out element for a scanning microscope, which is insertable into an illumination and detection beam path of the scanning microscope for non-descan detection, and which is removable from the illumination and detection beam path for descan detection.
