Abstract
An arrangement for generating a defined longitudinal chromatic aberration in a beam path of a confocal microscope. The arrangement includes using a confocal microscope with a microscope objective, and supplementary optics which are arranged in the imaging beam path of the microscope objective. The supplementary optics include at least two dual lens optical elements for generating the longitudinal chromatic aberration.
