Abstract
A microscope for determining properties of moving objects in a biological sample can include a sample space for arranging a biological sample and an objective for capturing a detection radiation coming from a confocal volume created in the sample. The microscope can have a detection beam path along which a captured detection radiation is steered to a detector in the form of a detector array having a plurality of detector elements, with the detector arranged in a plane conjugate to a back-side image plane of the objective. Measurement values from the detector elements can each be read and analyzed on an individual basis. A light source can provide an excitation radiation. In an illumination beam path, a beam-shaping optical unit can shape the excitation radiation to form a confocal volume in the sample space and/or, in the detection beam path, a beam-shaping optical unit can shape the detection radiation.
