摘要:
To increase the sensitivity of detector arrangements, it is known that light deflection elements in the form of a line arrays having spherical elements may be used to focus incident light onto light-sensitive regions of the detector. Manufacturing such line arrays is complex and cost intensive, especially in small lot numbers. The increased sensitivity of the detector array can be achieved easily and inexpensively by using a novel light deflection element. The detector arrangement therefore has a light deflection element having light entrance surfaces, deflecting incident light by refraction onto light-sensitive regions of the detector. Light entrance surfaces of the light deflection element are inclined with respect to one another and are designed as planar surfaces. The detector arrangement is suitable in particular for detection of light emanating from a specimen in a microscope, preferably in a laser-scanning microscope.

摘要:
A microscope including an illumination device providing a light sheet illuminating a sample region, said sheet having a planar extension along an illumination axis of an illumination beam path and a transverse axis lying normal to the illumination axis. A detection device detects light emitted from the sample region on a detection axis the illumination axis and detection axis as well as the transverse axis and the detection axis being oriented relative each other at an angle unequal zero. The detection device has a detection lens system arranged in the detection beam path and splitting means for splitting the detection beam path into two beam sub-paths. A dichroic beam splitter in the infinity region of the surface detectors is about 3 mm thick. Wobble plate(s) disposed orthogonal to each other relative to the detection axis arranged in one of the two beam sub-paths so measured values can be automatically superimposed.

A calibration device for managing a variety of performance tests and/or calibration tasks in a laser scanning microscope. The calibration device, which has focusing optics and a test structure arranged in the focal plane of the focusing optics, with structural elements detectable in reflected and/or transmitted light aligned to each other in a common mounting, can be switched into the microscope beam path in a laser scanning microscope, so that the pupil of the focusing optics coincides with the objective pupil of the laser scanning microscope or lies in a plane conjugated to it.

摘要:
The invention relates to a microscope, more particularly to a fluorescence microscope, for the structured illumination microscopy, comprising a microscope light path having an optical axis, including a beam splitter for coupling illumination light into the microscope light path, including an illumination pattern unit disposed, in particular, in the microscope light path for the purpose of generating an illuminated pattern on, or in, a sample to be examined, comprising a rotary device for the purpose of effecting relative rotation about the optical axis between the illumination pattern and the sample to be examined. The microscope is characterized in that a rotary polarizing device is provided for the purpose of rotating a polarization of the illumination light, that the angular positions of the rotary device and of the rotary polarizing device are inflexibly coupled to each other, that in order to reduce polarization effects during relative rotation between the illumination pattern and the beam splitter, a beam splitter is used which reflects and/or transmits the incident illumination light while substantially maintaining the polarization state, and/or that in order to reduce polarization effects while effecting relative rotation between the illumination pattern and the beam splitter, a beam splitter is positioned in the optical path such that the angle of incidence of the illumination light relative to a surface normal vector of the beam splitter is less than 45 degrees. The invention also relates to a dichroic beam splitter and to the use thereof in a fluorescence microscope.
