Abstract

According to various embodiments, a light microscope is provided. The light microscope includes a scanning device for directing an illumination pattern onto a sample to be imaged, the scanning device being movable for shifting the illumination pattern to cover sections of the sample successively one after another, wherein for each section of the sample, the scanning device is configured to direct the illumination pattern onto the section for illuminating the section and to receive a return light from the section of the sample illuminated by the illumination pattern, a modulator arrangement configured to modulate a light intensity distribution of the illumination pattern within a focal plane on the sample corresponding to the section of the sample, as a function of time, and a detector arrangement for optically coupling the return light from each section to a detector, wherein the detector arrangement is configured to optically couple the respective return lights to respective portions of the detector successively for generating an image of the sample on the detector, wherein a respective portion of the detector corresponds to a respective section of the sample.
