    摘要: A laser scanning microscope comprising having a light source, an illuminating beam for illuminating a specimen with a spatially limited, preferably point-shaped, illuminating light spot via a scanning device and an objective lens, and a detection beam for detecting the specimen light that reaches the detection beam via the objective lens and the scanning device. Focusing means that are disposed in the detection beam and focus the light from the specimen to form a spatially limited detection light spot in a plane. Receiver elements are distributed in the spot in a matrix-like manner and can be individually read out. These are located in order to simulate an adjustable pinhole aperture.

    摘要: A method for recording pulse signals which allows the reconstruction of a time reference. The time of every pulse signal event can be determined by counting sampling result bits preceding the respective sampling result bit using the known sampling frequency. For this purpose, every period of the sampling frequency is associated with a bit representing the respective sampling result and the sampling result bits are stored one by one and per channel in data blocks. The sampling frequency is preferably higher than a pixel clock, a sampling result bit associated with a flank of the pixel clock being marked. The pixel clock can thus be synchronized with the individual events exactly per sampling period. The invention further relates to the field of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy using confocal microscopes or laser scanning microscopes.

    摘要: A operating circuit and control method for protecting a PMT having a photocathode, a plurality of dynodes and an anode against overloading with a shorter reaction time, and to allow it to be switched on again rapidly. For this purpose, a switch is provided for electrically short circuiting the photocathode with the first dynode, or a switch is provided for reversing the polarity of the voltage between the photocathode and the first dynode.

    摘要: An optoelectronic detector and method of using same. In order to avoid any condensation on a surface, it has been known to heat such a surface. However, heating an optoelectronic detector will create a stronger hissing noise due to the greater dark current that is caused thereby. The invention is intended to avoid any condensation on an optoelectronic detector without airtight encapsulation. To this end, the detector is cooled and equipped with a sensor for the determination of a current value of one of the variables ambient humidity and ambient dew point temperature and a control unit that is connected with the sensor and designed to control the cooling device in dependence of such a value. By taking into account the ambient humidity or, respectively, the dew point temperature in the control of the cooling device, condensation on the detector can be avoided. An airtight encapsulation of the detector and the cooling device is not required.
