Abstract
The arrangement for examining microscope preparations with a scanning microscope comprises a laser () and an optical means () which images the light generated by the laser () onto a specimen () that is to be examined.

The optical component () is made of photonic band-gap material. It is particularly advantageous if the photonic band-gap material is configured as a light-guiding fiber ().
