Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005029150A1] The invention relates to a lens (1) for total internal reflection microscopy. The lens (1) is characterised in that a light source (5, 7) and/or at least one deviating means (31, 3) which deviates the light from a light source (5, 7) into the lens and/or the emitting end (35) of an illuminating optical fibre (37) is arranged in the region of the rear focal plane (3) of the lens (1).
