<p>A confocal microscope, which comprises a light source for producing excitation light including a plurality of different spectral components; an optical device for providing the excitation light as a spectrally dispersed beam and outputting the different spectral components as a number of elongated beams an object holder for holding an object; an objective for focusing the elongated beams of light on the object as parallel, spaced-apart lines of excitation light corresponding to the different spectral components; and a detector for simultaneously detecting emission light produced by parallel lines emitted by the object due to its illumination by spaced apart parallel lines of the excitation light.</p> |
