Abstract
A fluorescence microscope has an incident fluorescence illumination unit generating an incident fluorescence illumination beam path a multi-band fluorescence filter system encompassing a multi-band beam splitter for deflecting the incident fluorescence illumination beam path into an objective of the microscope and onto a specimen. The filter system has a multi-band blocking filter that at least partly transmits a fluorescence emission beam path proceeding from the specimen; and having a digital camera for generating a fluorescence image of the specimen. The microscope has a bright-field transmitted illumination unit for generating a bright-field transmitted illumination beam path for transmitted illumination of the specimen. The filter system is arranged fixedly so that upon acquisition of a bright-field image of the specimen, the system remains in a bright-field transmitted light beam path proceeding from the specimen. The digital camera has a white balance function that is executed before the bright-field image is generated.
