Abstract: The invention concerns a method and an apparatus for investigating layers ( 1 ) of tissues in living animals using a microscope ( 2 ). The microscope ( 2 ) is focused onto a layer ( 1 ), and images of the layer ( 1 ) are acquired or optical measurements are performed on it. Positional changes of the layer ( 1 ) are brought about by movements of the animal or of its organs. The positional changes are sensed, and corresponding signals are generated. The signals are stored, together with the corresponding images or measurement results, for later evaluation; or they are processed in such a way that the positional changes are compensated for in order to investigate the layer ( 1 ). As a result, the layer ( 1 ) can be qualitatively or quantitatively investigated microscopically, irrespective of the movement of the animal or its organs.

Abstract: Separating different emission wavelengths in a scanning microscope, is new. Separating different emission wavelengths in a scanning microscope comprises: (a) scanning a specimen with an illuminating light beam by passing the illuminating light beam over the specimen using a beam deflector; (b) selectively applying each of excitation wavelengths (1, 2, 3) to the illuminating light beam during the scanning according to a pre-definable illumination scheme; (c) detecting emission light coming from the specimen using detector(s), where the detector is read out upon each selective applying of a respective excitation wavelength to provide respective corresponding detected signals; and (d) associating the detected signals with the respective excitation wavelength using the illumination scheme. The emission light includes emission wavelengths corresponding to the excitation wavelengths. An independent claim is also included for an apparatus for separating different emission wavelengths in a scanning microscope, comprising: (a) light source(s) configured to generate an illuminating light beam; (b) a beam deflector configured to scan a specimen with the illuminating light beam by passing the illuminating light beam over the specimen; (c) a light control device configured to selectively apply each of excitation wavelengths to the illuminating light beam during a scanning according to a pre-definable illumination scheme; (d) detector(s) configured to pick up emission light coming from the specimen; and (e) a processing device configured to associate the detected signals with the respective excitation wavelengths using the illumination scheme.

Abstract: The microscope is tested using a phosphorescent probe (5). The probe is thermally stimulated until phosphorescent saturation. Light emitted from the probe is detected by a detector (7) and the detected signal is evaluated and compared with known data.

Abstract: Method for imaging an object (3, 4) with a confocal scanning microscope, whereby the object is moved in a first direction with a predetermined scanning velocity and in a second direction with a slower scanning velocity in order to obtain information relating to the object. The assignment of object information to individual pixels (25) is dependent on the temporal execution of the raster process. An Independent claim is made for a confocal scanning microscope for imaging an object.

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 arrangement has a scanning microscope e.g. confocal microscope, and a laser formed as a pulsed laser (1). An optical component is positioned between the laser and a lens (12), where light generated by the laser is spectrally processed by a unique cycle such that a spectral illumination light is emitted from the laser. An optical fiber (20) forms the optical component, and is comprised of photonic-bad-gap material. An optical diode is provided between the laser and fiber for suppressing back reflection of light rays originated from ends of the fiber.

Abstract: A beam of light is deflected by an arrangement (4) of mirrors rotated alternately by a rotating driving mechanism (1). It is possible to adjust almost any offset angle at all to a zero pint position. The rotating driving mechanism has two operating devices (2,3) working jointly but separate from each other to turn the arrangement of mirrors around an axis (5) of rotation.
