Abstract
The invention is directed to a method for recording a motion trajectory of an individual particle in a sample and to a light microscope performing this method. Starting from an at least approximately known initial position, the particle is scanned with an intensity distribution of a scanning light comprising a local intensity minimum. When illuminated with the scanning light, the particle to be tracked generates a detectable light signal, from the intensity of which updated coordinates of the particle are calculated. According to the invention, the scanning is terminated when a second measured variable detected in parallel satisfies a termination criterion.
