Method and device for producing phase contrast images

摘要

For producing phase contrast images on a light scanning microscope (optical scanning microscope) it is provided to arrange the photoelectric detector (36) of the detection device without upstream condenser optics directly behind the object plane (34), seen in the direction of the light, and to match the shape of the photosensitive surface of the detector to the geometry of the phase-shifting elements (33) of the objective (31), for example by means of an upstream annular (ring) diaphragm (stop, aperture) (35). <IMAGE>
