Abstract
A device for confocal observation of a sample comprises at least one disk-like body, wherein the at least one disk-like body comprises on a first side a plurality of micro-optical elements and on a second side a correspondingly arranged pinhole pattern formed by a plurality of pinholes, wherein the plurality of micro-optical elements arranged on the first side comprise a convex, dichroically coated front surface, wherein for excitation of the sample the disk is illuminated on its side facing the tube lens with collimated light which is reflected back to the tube lens by the plurality of curved, dichroically coated surfaces on the disk in such a way that a corresponding excitation spot pattern is created therefrom in the object plane of the microscope, which excitation spot pattern, after having passed the tube lens and the plurality of curved, dichroically coated surfaces, can be spatially filtered and detected.
