Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014037401A1] The present invention relates to a confocal laser scanning microscope (100) with an illumination device (1), which has a laser light source (41) configured to illuminate a specimen (25), and a trigger circuit (40) for the laser light source (1), which circuit is configured to output a pulsed trigger signal (48) to supply the laser light source (41), wherein the trigger circuit (40) is configured such that it determines both a pulse amplitude (A) and a pulse width (W) of at least one pulse of the pulsed trigger signal (48) on the basis of at least one input variable (S).
