    Abstract: The invention relates to an optical microscope comprising an optical system (1) and a confocal diaphragm (2), the confocal diaphragm (2) being arranged in a Fourier plane (12) of the microscope, the confocal diaphragm (2) being fixed relative to the body of the microscope, the microscope being able to collect a light beam (20) from the object plane, the optical system (1) being suitable for focusing the light beam (20) in the Fourier plane (12) and for feeding at least a portion of the light beam (20) through the confocal diaphragm (2). According to the invention, the optical microscope comprises a refractive optical component (3) placed between the optical system (1) and the confocal diaphragm (2), the refractive optical component (3) being mounted so as to be rotatable transverse to the optical axis (10) of the microscope in order to adjust a lateral position of the focused light beam relative to the confocal diaphragm (2).
