APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUS FLUORESCENCE EXCITATION (2-WAVELENGTHS-IR)

摘要

An apparatus in a simultaneous fluorescence excitation microscope is described, allowing simultaneous fluorescence excitation by light of at least two different wavelengths. The apparatus has a laser light source generating a light beam. A first beam splitter splits the light beam into a first partial light beam and a second partial light beam. A wavelength converter converts the wavelength of the first partial light beam. A microscope optical system into which the first partial light beam and the second partial light beam are coupled directs the two partial light beams onto an object to be examined.
