Claim:
1. An optical arrangement in a microscope, comprising: an illumination device configured to generate an illuminating light beam extending on an illumination side, a splitting device configured to split the illuminating light beam into at least two partial beams, a light sheet generator configured to generate at least two light sheets from the partial beams; a mirror arrangement configured to reflect the light sheets into an illumination region for plane illumination of a specimen, detection optics arranged on a side of the illumination region facing away from the illumination side, and illumination optics arranged on the illumination side and disposed coaxially with the detection optics about an optical axis, the illumination optics being configured to direct the light sheets onto the mirror arrangement, wherein the partial beams or light sheets are spaced from the optical axis in a predeterminable manner and are guidable in parallel with the optical axis or close to the optical axis at an angle that differs from 0° to the optical axis.
