1. A microscope having at least one illumination beam path and at least one detection beam path, wherein the at least one each illumination beam path is provided with a focusing arrangement for producing a two-dimensional object illumination pattern which extends in the direction of an illumination axis of the at least one illumination beam path and in a transverse direction substantially transverse to the illumination axis, a detection direction of the at least one detection beam path is substantially orthogonal to the two-dimensional object illumination pattern, and a mobile arrangement is provided for producing a relative movement between the two-dimensional object illumination pattern and an object to be studied, wherein the two-dimensional object illumination pattern is a set of substantially parallel light stripes.
