More Information
Summary:A light sheet microscope or a confocal microscope includes illumination optics configured to transmit light of at least two wavelengths from at least one light source, along respective wavelength-dependent beam paths, from an illumination side of the illumination optics to a specimen side of the illumination optics. A lateral chromatic correction system comprising at least one optical lateral chromatic correction element is configured such that the beam paths of the at least two different wavelengths have, at a specimen-side output of the lateral chromatic correction element, an offset parallel to each other and/or are inclined relative to each other in relation to the illumination side, which, on the specimen side of the illumination optics, results in an offset of the foci of the at least two wavelengths transverse to an optical axis of the illumination optics.
