Abstract

A method for scanning a sample in microscopy includes generating at least three illumination spots in order to form a spot pattern that contains at least two illumination spots having a first wavelength and an illumination spot having a second wavelength that differs from the first wavelength. At least one specified region of the sample is scanned by moving the spot pattern formed by the illumination spots along a first direction for generating scan lines, which are each associated with the illumination spots of the spot pattern, and by moving the spot pattern formed by the illumination spots along a second direction for generating scan lines respectively after the scan lines.
