Scanning microscope having a microscope stand
View Patent ↗A scanning microscope has a microscope stand and a light source that emits an illuminating light beam for illumination of a sample. The illuminating light beam is scanned over a sample with a beam deflection device, arranged in the microscope stand. A Bauernfeind prism is arranged between the sample and the detector for deflecting the detection light out of the microscope beam.
1. A scanning microscope comprising:
a light source that emits an illuminating light beam for illumination of a sample, a microscope stand, a beam deflection device, arranged in the microscope stand, for scanning the illuminating light beam over the sample, an objective that focuses the illuminating light beam onto the sample, at least one detector that receives detection light proceeding from the sample, and a Bauernfeind prism, that is arranged between the sample and the detector.
2. The scanning microscope as defined in claim 1 , wherein the sample defines a sample plane that establishes an illumination side and a transmitted-light side, whereby the Bauernfeind prism is arranged on the illumination side.
3. The scanning microscope as defined in claim 1 , wherein the sample defines a sample plane that establishes an illumination side and a transmitted-light side, whereby the Bauernfeind prism is arranged on the transmitted-light side.
4. The scanning microscope as defined in claim 1 , wherein at least one surface of the Bauernfeind prism has a color-selective coating.
5. The scanning microscope as defined in claim 1 , wherein the Bauernfeind prism is achromatic.
6. The scanning microscope as defined in claim 1 , wherein the Bauernfeind prism has an entry window and an exit window, which the detection light strikes at different angles of incidence.
7. The scanning microscope as defined in claim 1 , wherein the detector is arranged inside the microscope stand.
