Title:
MICROSCOPE AND METHOD FOR IMAGING A SAMPLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/174795
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a microscope (50) for imaging a sample (30), comprising an illumination unit (12) for emitting illumination light onto the sample (30), a detector (71) for detecting detection light from the sample (30), an optical unit for focusing the illumination light emitted by the illumination unit (12) into the sample (30) and for focusing the detection light from the sample (30) on the detector (71), and a scanning unit (20) for scanning the sample (30) with the illumination light. The illumination unit (12) is designed to emit illumination light in the form of separate illumination light bundles (52, 54, 56) on the scanning unit (20) in such a manner that the illumination light bundles (52, 54, 56) are focused simultaneously on spatially separate, strip-shaped sample regions (A, B, C) during the scanning of the sample (30). The detector (71) is designed to detect the detection light simultaneously and in a spatially separate manner in the form of separate detection light bundles (58, 60, 62) which stem from the spatially separate, strip-shaped sample regions (A, B, C).
