LASER-SCANNING-MIKROSKOP MIT HOCHGESCHWINDIGKEITSDATENVERARBEITUNG

The microscope has a scanner module (4.1), a detector module (4.2) and a laser module (4.3), where a high-speed data flow (7) between the modules and a data interface (6) is formed from data packets with data bits and type bits, where the data bits include the data of the modules, and the type bits code the type of data. The type information is stored in the modules and a controller (3), where the type information refers to process tasks for coded data types. The modules and/or controller are set during transmission of a type specification for the data types. An independent claim is also included for a method for data communication in a laser scanning microscope.
