The invention relates to a
microscope having an illumination beam path with
wide field illumination of a sample and a first detection beam path having a
spatially resolved surface
receiver, which is reached by a first part of the detection light coming from the sample via the first detection beam path, or an image divider
assembly for a
microscope. In order to lengthen the
optical path length, at least a second part of the detection light coming from the sample is masked out of the detection beam path and, via deflection means belonging to the detection beam path, is led into a second detection beam path and, preferably via further deflection means, is deflected back in the direction of the detection in such a way that detection light is applied to at least two partial regions beside one another on the surface
receiver. At least the second part of the detection light runs in an optical element having an
optical density that is increased as compared with the first detection beam path, in order to lengthen the
optical path length, and the optical element is designed to be displaceable at an angle, preferably perpendicular, to the
optical axis of the first detection beam path in order to adjust the
optical path length, and has flat surfaces, at least on the light entry and light
exit side thereof; a
prism is provided, preferably a
glass prism, preferably at least in the second detection beam path after a first beam deflection, for deflection in a direction parallel to the first detection beam path, in order to increase the
path length and for reverse deflection.
