Abstract
A light-microscopic method of localization microscopy for localizing point objects in a sample arranged in an object space includes imaging, by an imaging optical unit having a depth of field range of predetermined axial z-extension along its optical axis in the object space, the sample onto a detector; localizing the point objects in the sample within the depth of field range in that, on the basis of a sample image, lateral x/y-positions of the point objects in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis are ascertained; displacing, in the object space relative to the sample the depth of field range within which the point objects are localized in the object space relative to the sample along the optical axis at least once by a predetermined axial z-travel distance; and imaging, by the imaging optical unit in the event of an axially displaced depth of field range.
