Abstract
A method for illumination and detection in RESOLFT microscopy using a pulsed or continuous light source for excitation light and switching light is characterized in that the excitation light (4) is irradiated in pulses and in that the pulse of the excitation light (4) is longer than 150 picoseconds, preferably up to a few hundred picoseconds, and even up to a few nanoseconds. A corresponding apparatus uses the method according to the present invention.
