Claim:
1. A microscope arrangement comprising: a sample stage comprising: an excitation beam path configured to illuminate the sample with excitation light when the sample is arranged on the sample carrier; a detection beam path configured to direct detection light coming from the sample to detection means; an objective which is arranged along the optical axis and through which the excitation light is guided in direction of the sample stage and the detection light coming from the sample is guided in direction of the detection means; a beam-splitting means configured to separate excitation light and detection light; a means for generating a light sheet from the excitation light; a means for illuminating the sample with the light sheet; wherein the light sheet lies in a plane which forms an angle different than zero to the optical axis; wherein the means for illuminating the sample comprises a plurality of optical deflecting devices which is arranged on the sample carrier and which is configured to deflect the excitation light coming from the objective into the plane of the light sheet by means of at least one optically active surface.
