Light microscope and method for image recording using a light microscope

摘要

The invention relates to a light microscope comprising a polychromatic light source for emitting illumination light in the direction of a sample, focussing means for focussing illumination light onto the sample, wherein the focussing means, for generating a depth resolution, have a longitudinal chromatic aberration, and a detection device, which comprises a two-dimensional array of detector elements, for detecting sample light coming from the sample. According to the invention, the light microscope is characterized in that, for detecting both confocal portions and non-confocal portions of the sample light, a beam path from the sample to the detection device is free of elements for completely masking out non-confocal portions. In addition, the invention relates to a method for image recording using a light microscope.

1. A light microscope, comprising
a polychromatic light source for emitting illuminating light in the direction of a specimen, focussing means for focussing illuminating light onto the specimen, wherein the focussing means have a longitudinal chromatic aberration to produce a depth resolution, and a detection unit which comprises a two-dimensional array of detector elements for detecting specimen light coming from the specimen, wherein for the detection of both confocal portions and also non-confocal portions of the specimen light, an optical path from the specimen to the detection unit is free of elements for complete filtering-out of non-confocal portions.
