Laser scanning microscope, has mirror supported in lens frame that is brought into lens revolver of microscope, and lens superordinate to mirror for focusing illumination light on to mirror in illumination direction

摘要

The microscope has an adjusting element i.e. microscope lens, for adjusting a position of a pinhole, and a mirror (7) brought into an optical path for reflection of illumination light in a direction of microscopic detection. The mirror is supported in a lens frame i.e. sleeve (8), that is brought into a lens revolver of the microscope. A lens (6) is superordinate to the mirror for focusing the illumination light on to the mirror in an illumination direction. A mirror surface is focused into a pinhole plane over an intermediate imaging plane (1) by a microscope arrangement. An independent claim is also included for a method for adjusting pinholes in a laser scanning microscope.
