Abstract
A method for punctiform illumination of a sample with a MINFLUX microscope has the sample being sequentially illuminated at illumination points of a predefined or predefinable illumination point pattern. The lateral extent of the illumination point pattern is smaller than the longest wavelength of the illumination light. The illumination points are always illuminated exclusively with a time offset. A distinct individual light source is assigned to each illumination point of the illumination point pattern. Each illumination point is illuminated by the focus of an illumination light bundle of the individual light source.
