Abstract

A lightsheet microscope includes a detection objective for imaging a target region of a sample located in a focal plane, and an illumination objective for focusing an illumination light beam. The illumination objective and the detection objective define a sample chamber, in which a sample holder having a carrier surface is arranged. A light deflection device has a deflection surface arranged laterally offset in relation to the optical axis of the detection objective in the sample chamber which deflects the illumination light beam through the illumination objective in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis such that the deflected illumination light beam forms a lightsheet-type illumination light distribution. The light deflection device has a collision section facing toward the carrier surface. The carrier surface is inclined relative to the focal plane at a predetermined angle such that a part of the carrier surface is arranged in the focal plane.
