Abstract
A scanning device for scanning an object in a scanning microscope includes at least one scanning unit configured to two-dimensionally scan the object using a light beam. The scanning unit includes at least one deflection element configured to deflect a light beam impinging thereon. The deflection element is rotationally symmetric in shape. At least one rotation device is configured to rotate the scanning unit about an axis of rotation so as to allow for image field rotation.
