    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for adjusting a bias voltage of a SPAD photodiode, comprising successive steps of: applying to the photodiode a first test bias voltage lower than a normal bias voltage applied to the photodiode in a normal operating mode, subjecting the photodiode to photons, reading a first avalanche triggering signal of the photodiode, applying to the photodiode a second test bias voltage, different from the first test bias voltage, subjecting the photodiode to photons, reading a second avalanche triggering signal of the photodiode, increasing the normal bias voltage if the first and second signals indicate that the photodiode did not avalanche trigger, and reducing the normal bias voltage if the first and second signals indicate that the photodiode did avalanche trigger.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical routing module (2) suitable for use in a light microscope (1) for sample inspection simultaneously with a primary light source (10) and a secondary light source (7) of different wavelength. The module (2) comprises a housing mounting first and second polarizing beam splitters PBS1, PBS2 along a primary light beam pathway through the module and having secondary light beam inlet and outlet means (5,6) opposite different ones of the polarizing beam splitters PBS1, PBS2, which have a narrow predetermined operating wavelength range, defined between s- and p-plane transitional wavelengths, which substantially excludes the primary light source wave length band and such that at least one polarizing plane component of each of the secondary light source and a secondary light output from the sample is subjected to a different one of transmission and reflection from that to which the primary light source is subjected at each of the first and second polarizing beam splitters PBS1, PBS2, which are further formed and arranged for defining a secondary light beam pathway from the inlet (5) to the outlet (6) so that the secondary light beam pathway is brought substantially into alignment with an outward leg of said primary beam pathway upstream of the sample by said first polarizing beam splitter PBS1 and is separated back out from a return leg of said primary light beam pathway downstream of the sample by said second polarizing beam splitter PBS2 whereby in use of the module (2) in a light microscope (1), the area of incidence of the secondary light beam with the sample may be monitored via the primary light beam.
