Abstract
A scanning microscope (1) and a scanning method are disclosed. The scanning microscope (1) has, arranged in the illuminating light beam path (3), an outcoupling element (60) that couples out at least a fraction of the illuminating light beam (3) and directs it to a detector (61) that detects the pulse frequency of the light source that generates the illuminating light beam; and the pulse frequency serves as a basic clock frequency for the scanner.
