Abstract
A confocal microscope system includes a light source configured to form a light beam, a scanning unit, and an objective lens. The scanning unit is in the form of a mechanically driven scanning unit with a controllable scanning trajectory, and is configured to direct the light beam through the scanning trajectory. The objective lens defines a pupil plane and a focal plane. The light beam is directed from the scanning unit to the objective lens. The confocal microscope system is configured for multi-color line-scanning confocal microscopy, and implements multi-color fluorescence imaging without laser excitation crosstalk.
