Claim Text:
1. A microscope for high resolution scanning microscopy of a sample, comprising an illumination device for the purpose of illuminating the sample, an imaging device for the purpose of scanning at least one point or linear spot over the sample and of imaging the point or linear spot into a diffraction-limited, static single image, with an imaging scale in a detection plane, a detector device for the purpose of detecting the single image in the detection plane for various scan positions with a spatial resolution; an evaluation device for the purpose of evaluating a diffraction structure of the single image for the scan positions, using data from the detector device, and for the purpose of generating an image of the sample which has a resolution which is enhanced beyond the diffraction limit, said detector device having a detector array which has pixels and which is larger than the single image, a non-imaging redistribution element which is arranged in front of the detector array and which distributes the radiation from the detection plane onto the pixels of the detector array in a non-imaging manner, and means for wavefront detection wherein an amplitude and/or phase of a wavefront influenced by the sample is detected with spatial resolution through said means for wavefront detection.
