Abstract: A confocal laser scanning microscope including an excitation beam path which focuses excitation radiation in a multiplicity of spots arranged in an object plane, and a detection beam path which confocally images the spots onto a multi-channel detector by means of pinhole stops, as well as a scanning unit which causes a two-dimensional relative movement between an object located in the object plane and the spots is described, wherein the scanning unit, during said relative movement, displaces the spots along a first direction and thus scans a strip of the object with the spots, and then displaces the spots along a second direction, in order to subsequently scan an adjacent strip by renewed displacement along said first direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for the detection of biochemical or chemical substances using fluorescent light excitation, and to a process for its production, which can be used in a variety of fields, for example in biotechnology, in molecular medicine, in pharmaceuticals development and for the analysis or various chemical substances. A relatively simple structure is intended to provide the invention with the possibility of being able to carry out the detection of a large number of samples in a very short time with a high degree of accuracy. To that end, a laminar substrate is formed with a locally defined structure in order to detect different samples. Advantageously, on the detector side, a lens array designed according to the structuring can be used to project the fluorescent light from the different samples on to a detector array. It is, however, also possible to place a detector array matched to the structuring of the substrate on the substrate, or arrange it there.
