Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A microscope for widefield microscopy having a detection beam path and an illumination beam path. The microscope includes a filter wheel device, which is arranged in the detection beam path and/or illumination beam path and has a filter wheel, wherein the filter wheel is mounted to rotate about an axis, and wherein the filter wheel is divided into segments. Filters forming a first part-circle are arranged in a first part of the segments, such that said filters are consecutively introduced into the detection beam path or illumination beam path when the filter wheel is rotated. A camera records images at a predefined frequency. The filter wheel device includes a motor-driven shaft that rotates the filter wheel at a predefined rotation frequency. The microscope also comprises a control system for synchronizing the image-recording frequency and rotation frequency based on the filters arranged on the filter wheel.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A microscope for widefield microscopy with a detection beam path and an illumination beam path, comprising: a filter wheel device including at least one filter wheel mounted on a motor-driven shaft so as to be rotatable about an axis at a specified rotational frequency, the at least one filter wheel arranged in the detection beam path, or in the detection beam path and the illumination beam path, the at least one filter wheel being divided into a plurality o…
