Abstract: The arrangement has a scanning microscope and contains a laser (10 and an optical arrangement (12) that forms an image of the light from the laser onto the specimen (13) under investigation. An optical component (3) is arranged between the laser and the optical arrangement to spectrally expand the laser light during a single pass through. Independent claims are also included for the following: a scanning microscope and an illumination arrangement for a scanning microscope.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an apparatus for combining light from at least two laser light sources, preferably in the context of confocal scanning microscopy, and in order to make laser light sources of low output power usable as light sources, in particular for confocal scanning microscopy, is characterized in that the light from the laser light sources has at least approximately the same wavelength; and that at least one beam combining unit that combines the light beams in at least largely lossless fashion is provided.

Abstract: The laser scanning microscope control unit (2) detects the continuous emission phase of the solid state laser (1) and provides a trigger impulse to start the scanning of a picture, line or pixel. This avoids scanning during initial spikes of high laser output power. The trigger impulse can come either from monitoring the laser output or from setting a dead time after starting the laser.

Abstract: An optical arrangement having an optical assembly (1) for generating an intermediate image (2) in a beam path is configured and further developed such that an optical element (3) having a plurality of optical waveguides (4) is arranged in the beam bath after the intermediate image (2) to enable the imaging of the intermediate image (2) in a plane on a zone-by-zone or point-by-point basis. Further, a microscope exhibiting such an optical arrangement is specified.

Abstract: A method for operating a preferably confocal laser scanning microscope, the laser system (1) comprising at least one solid-state laser or a diode laser, is characterized in that, in order to avoid undesired distortions of the image information, the scanning procedure or the recording of data is synchronized with the phase of an at least largely continuous emission of intensity from the laser system (1). The laser system (1) and the data recording system (3) are synchronized by a control unit (2).

Abstract: A scanning microscope, having a detector, arranged in a detection beam path, for receiving detection light proceeding from a sample, has between the sample and the detector an optical shutter means with which the detection beam path can be blocked. A control means for controlling the shutter means is provided. The detection light beam path can be blocked automatically outside the scanning operation and in the event of an excessive detection light power level.
