    摘要: The invention relates to a light sheet microscope which comprises an illumination apparatus, which generates coherent illumination light for several illumination wavelengths, a beam-shaping module (8) for generating a light sheet from illumination light, an illumination objective (10) for the illumination of a specimen (1) with the light sheet and a detection objective (12) for imaging light which is emitted by the specimen onto a laminar detector, wherein the optical axis of the detection objective (12) forms an angle different from 0° and 180° with the optical axis of the illumination objective (10).In such a light sheet microscope, the beam-shaping module (8) comprises a phase-selective element (19) on which several selection areas (20) separated from each other spatially are arranged, wherein in each case one selection area (20) is assigned to one specific illumination wavelength, and wherein a phase distribution predefined for the respective illumination wavelength is impressed on each selection area (20). In addition, the beam-shaping module (8) comprises means for the sequential or simultaneous selection of the selection areas (20) in dependence on the respective illumination wavelength.
