ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a confocal microscope which illuminates a sample (15) by means of at least one light source. A detection light beam (17) is emitted from the sample (15). The detection light beam (17) is spectrally split up in a spatial manner by the dispersive element (20) and subsequently formed on a photosensor chip (19) by means of a detection optical system (22). At least one expanding optical system (23) is arranged in front of the dispersive element (20) in the direction of the detection light beam (17). The expanding optical system (23) is embodied in such a manner that the numerical aperture of the detection optical system (22) is independent from the numerical aperture of the detection light beam (17) on the detection apertured diaphragm (18).
