Abstract
A laser scanning microscope comprises at least one selectively switchable micro-mirror arrangement (DMD) in the illumination beam path and/or detection beam path which is used for the wavelength selection of dispersively divided illumination and/or object light such as reflection, fluorescence.
Claims11
In a laser scanning microscope, an arrangement comprising:
- a micro-mirror arrangement acting as a confocal pinhole diaphragm in a detection beam path;
- and
- a detector that receives a detection beam from the micro-mirror arrangement.
In a laser scanning microscope, an arrangement comprising:
- a micro-mirror arrangement acting as a slit pinhole in a detection beam path so as to receive a scanned line of an object;
- and
- a detector that receives the scanned line from the micro-mirror arrangement.
In a laser scanning microscope, an arrangement comprising:
- a dispersive element positioned in a detection beam path and operable to spatially disperse a detection beam coming from an object under study;
- a micro-mirror arrangement operable to switch selected wavelengths of the dispersed detection beam;
- and
- a detector that receives the switched wavelengths of the spatially dispersed detection beam.
In a laser scanning microscope, an arrangement comprising:
- an LCD arrangement acting as a confocal pinhole diaphragm in a detection beam path;
- and
- a detector that receives a detection beam from the LCD arrangement.
In a laser microscope, a combination comprising:
- at least one dispersive element disposed in a detection beam path;
- and
- a selectively switchable transmission diaphragm in the detection beam path.
