Abstract

The invention is directed to an optical arrangement for photomanipulation of a sample comprising a sample holder for receiving the sample, an illumination device comprising an illumination light source and an illumination beam path for illuminating the sample with a light sheet. It further comprises a detection device for detecting light that is radiated from the sample and imaging optics which image the sample on the detection device by means of an imaging objective in an imaging beam path, wherein the light sheet is substantially planar in the focus of the imaging objective, and wherein the imaging objective has an optical axis which intersects the plane of the light sheet at an angle different from zero. Further, the arrangement also has means for photomanipulation of the sample.
