Claim:
1. An optical microscope comprising a sample plane in which a sample to be examined is positionable, a light source for emitting illumination light, optical imaging means for guiding the illumination light into the sample plane, and a detector device having a plurality of detector elements for the purpose of detecting sample light coming from the sample, wherein adjacent detector elements are at a distance from one another which is smaller than an Airy disk produced by a point of the sample plane on the detector device, a scanning device having at least one first and one second optical arrangements, said optical arrangements being simultaneously movable in a common direction for the purpose of producing an illumination scanning movement and a detection scanning movement, said illumination and said detection scanning movements being opposite to one another, wherein the illumination scanning movement is a scanning movement of illumination light over the sample plane, and wherein as detection scanning movement receiving regions of the detector elements are movable over the sample plane, said first and second optical arrangements each have a plurality of optical elements which are arranged alongside one another and by means of which sample regions spaced apart from one another are simultaneously examinable said first and second optical arrangements being arranged such that both a beam path of the sample light from the sample plane to the detector device and a beam path of the illumination light from the light source to the sample plane nm via the first optical arrangement and only one of these two beam paths runs via the second optical arrangement, and in order to achieve a direction of the detection scanning movement which is opposite to the direction of the illumination scanning movement, by means of the scanning device, sample light is imageable in a non-inverting manner and with an imaging scale of less than 1.
