Microscope
Patent No. EP3879329 (titled "Microscope") was filed by Carl Zeiss on Sep 17, 2010. The application was issued on Oct 30, 2024.
Patent Summary
A microscope for selective plane illumination microscopy (SPIM) that enables high-throughput imaging of multiple samples with improved user-friendliness. The microscope features a dichroic beam splitter positioned at near-infinity in the detection beam path, allowing for simultaneous imaging of multiple color channels without artifacts. The illumination beam path is also optimized for flexible imaging, with a scanning mirror that enables fast, stroboscopic-like illumination of selected sample areas. The microscope design enables continuous adjustment of the detection image field size and focal plane, as well as simultaneous illumination from two sides for improved imaging of certain samples.
