Abstract
A scanning luminescence light microscope for spatial high resolution imaging a structure marked with a luminescent marker comprises a light source for luminescence inhibition light and for further light; a light shaping and aligning device; and a detector registering luminescence light emitted by the luminescent marker. The device, by means of two optical gratings and an objective lens, forms two crossing line gratings of the luminescence inhibition light, and two crossing line gratings of the further light so that local intensity minima of an overall intensity distribution of the luminescence inhibition light are delimited in at least two directions, and that local intensity maxima or local intensity minima of an overall intensity distribution of the further light coincide with the local intensity minima of the luminescence inhibition light. Further, the device moves the overall intensity distributions of the further light and the luminescence inhibition light to scan the structure.
