Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2018024786A1] The invention relates to a microscope (1), in particular a light sheet microscope (2) or a confocal microscope (3), and to an optical retrofit kit (150) for a microscope (1), in particular for a light sheet microscope (2) or confocal microscope (3), having illumination optics (5) for transmitting light of at least two wavelengths (27a, 27b) from at least one light source (11), along respective wavelength-dependent beam paths (23a, 23b), from an illumination side (29) of the illumination optics (5) to a specimen side (83) of the illumination optics (5). Prior art microscopes (1) exhibit a longitudinal chromatic aberration (37a) and/or a lateral chromatic aberration (37b) which reduce the imaging quality of the microscope (1). The microscope (1) and the optical retrofit kit (150) according to the invention solve this problem in that the microscope (1) and optical retrofit kit (150) comprise a lateral chromatic correction system (65) with at least one optical lateral chromatic correction element (67), wherein the beam paths (23a, 23b) of the at least two different wavelengths (27a, 27b) have, at the output (84) of the lateral chromatic correction element (65) on the specimen side, a parallel offset (43) relative to each other and/or are inclined relative to each other in relation to the illumination side (29), causing on the specimen side (83) of the illumination optics (5) an offset (43) between the focal points (31a, 31b) of the at least two wavelengths (27a, 27b) transversely to an optical axis (41) of the illumination optics (5).
