Abstract

A device and a method for imaging a sample arranged in an object plane. The device includes an optical relay system that images an area of the sample from the object plane into an intermediate image plane. The device may also include an optical imaging system with an objective having an optical axis that lies perpendicularly on the intermediate image plan, and which is focused on the intermediate image plane, with the result that the object plane can be imaged undistorted onto a detector. The device also can include an illumination apparatus for illuminating the sample with a light sheet, wherein the light sheet lies essentially in the object plane and defines an illumination direction, and wherein the normal of the object plane defines a detection direction.
