    Abstract: An optical arrangement, in particular a laser scanning microscope, having a light source, in particular a laser light source, and an interruption device (1) for a light beam (2) of the light source, is configured, in the interest of reliable operation, in such a way that means (3) for monitoring the functioning of the interruption device (1) are associated with the interruption device (1). The invention additionally concerns a shutter (5) for a light beam (2) of a light source, in particular a laser light source, which, again in the interest of reliable operation of an optical arrangement, is characterized by at least two movable components (6, 7) which are configured and arranged such that the mechanical momentum generated by a moving component (6) or by several moving components is compensated for by the motion of the other component (7) or components.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and to a method for the excitation of fluorescent markers in multiphoton scanning microscopy, having at least one illumination beam path, a light source that produces the illumination light and at least one detection beam path for a detector, the objects to be studied being labelled with fluorescent markers. So as to avoid making it necessary to increase the illumination power of the light source in order to achieve an increase in the fluorescence photon yield, the device according to the invention and the method according to the invention are characterized in that at least one means that influences the spectral distribution/composition of the illumination light is provided for variably influencing the illumination light that excites the fluorescent markers, in particular during the illumination process.

    Abstract: A double confocal scanning microscope (1) has an illuminating beam path (2) associated with a light source (3) and a detected beam path (4) associated with a detector (5). In order to achieve a resolution capability approaching that theoretically possible, in particular in the context of multi-color fluorescence applications, the optical properties of components (6, 10, 13, 14) arranged in the beam path are co-ordinated with one another in such a way that the accumulated aberrations, with respect to the optical axis (33) and/or at least one surface (18, 19, 20) in a specimen support region, are at least of the order of magnitude of the theoretically achievable resolution capability.
