Abstract
A SPIM-microscope (Selective Plane Imaging Microscopy) and a method of operating the same having a y-direction illumination light source and a z-direction detection light camera. An x-scanner generates a sequential light sheet by scanning the illumination light beam in the x-direction. An electronic zoom is provided that is adapted to change the scanning length in the x-direction independently of a focal length of the illumination light beam and a size of the light sheet in the y-direction and in the z-direction, wherein the number of image pixels in x-direction is maintained unchanged by the electronic zoom independently of the scanning length in x-direction that has been selected.
