Abstract

See full text

A microscope includes: a motorized object stage for moving an object; an optical imaging system for forming an optical image of a plane (OE) in which the object is to be optically imaged; an optical scanning unit for moving the plane (OE) to be optically imaged by the optical imaging system relative to the optical imaging system; an image sensor for detecting the optical image of the plane (OE) formed by the optical imaging system; and a controller for controlling the motorized object stage and the optical scanning unit for simultaneously moving the object and the plane (OE) in a same direction relative to the optical imaging system while the optical image is being detected by the image sensor.
