LASER SCANNING MICROSCOPE

摘要

The present invention relates to a laser scanning microscope (10) for scanning a sample, the microscope having focusing means (15) having a focal plane (29) and comprising at least one optical element for focusing a laser beam (13), drive means (18) for displacing the at least one optical element of the focusing means (15), at least one detector means (24') for detecting light (13') reflected from the sample or back fluoresced light (13') emitted by the sample, characterised by the detector means (24') being connected to the drive means (18) such that the drive means (18) may simultaneously displace the detector means (24') with the at least one optical element of the focusing means (15). The present invention further relates to a method of performing 3D scanning with the inventive laser scanning microscope.
