Claim:
1. A light microscope, comprising a specimen plane, in which a specimen to be examined can be positioned, a light source to emit illuminating light, optical imaging means to convey the illuminating light into the specimen plane, a first scanning means arranged to produce an illumination scanning movement of the illuminating light relative to the specimen, the illumination scanning movement being defined in the specimen plane, wherein the first scanning means is: configured to move an optical path of the illuminating light to the specimen or configured to move the specimen relative to the optical path of the illumination light, or configured to move the light source relative to the specimen, a detector means to detect specimen light coming from the specimen, the detector means comprising several detector elements, wherein adjacent detector elements are at a distance from each other which is smaller than an airy disk produced by a point in the specimen plane on the detector means, electronic means to determine an image of the specimen on the basis of the specimen light detected by the detector means, wherein the light microscope further comprises a second scanning means, arranged to produce a detection scanning movement of specimen light coming from the specimen to receiving regions of the detector elements of the detector means in the specimen plane, to adjust which specimen region is imaged on a specific detector element, the detection scanning movement being defined in the specimen plane as a movement of a receiving region of one of the detector elements relative to the specimen, wherein the second scanning means is: configured to move an optical path of the specimen light, or configured to move the detector means relative to the optical path of the specimen light, or configured to move the specimen if the first scanning means is not configured to move the specimen, the illumination scanning movement and the detection scanning movement both being defined in the specimen plane, and the electronic means is adapted to control the first and the second scanning means in dependence upon each other and in such a way that a momentary direction of the detection scanning movement is parallel but oppositely directed to a momentary direction of the illumination scanning movement.
