Abstract
An oblique plane microscope has an objective illuminating a plane of the sample and collecting detection light. A beam splitting system splits the collected detection light into two detection light bundles along two optical paths, respectively. A first intermediate imaging system generates a first intermediate image of the plane in a first intermediate image space. The first intermediate imaging system has a first objective and a first reflecting element in the first intermediate image space and reflecting the first detection light bundle into the first objective. A second intermediate imaging system generates a second intermediate image of the plane in a second intermediate image space. The second intermediate imaging system has a second objective and a second reflecting element positioned in the second intermediate image space and reflecting the second detection light bundle into the second objective. A detection system detects the detection light bundles reflected into the objectives.
