Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2008052821A1] The invention relates to an optical arrangement, particularly for the use as a main beam splitter and/or beam combiner in a microscope, wherein one or several light rays (11, 12, 15, L<SUB>1</SUB>, L<SUB>2</SUB>, L<SUB>3</SUB>) can be coupled into and one of the coupled light rays (11, 12, 15, L<SUB>1</SUB>, L<SUB>2</SUB>, L<SUB>3</SUB>) can be uncoupled again after passage of the optical arrangement (1, 11). The optical arrangement is characterized in regard to as much a free influenceability as possible of the uncoupled light ray, by having a controllable microstructured element (5), for example a digital micro mirror device (DMD), arranged in the coupled light rays (11, 12, 15, L<SUB>1</SUB>, L<SUB>2</SUB>, L<SUB>3</SUB>), making it possible for beam paths within the optical arrangement (1, 1') to be controllable. Thus the uncoupled light ray/s is/are controllable and/or can be influenced.
