1. Light scanning microscope, comprising:

  • an illumination module, which generates several illumination beams and moves them, in each case as a spot, in a predefined region of a sample for the purpose of exciting sample radiation;

    a detector module for confocal detection of the sample radiation excited by each spot, the detector module comprising a first detector, an imaging lens system, having an optical axis, for imaging the predefined region along an imaging beam path running from the sample as far as the first detector, and a rotatable diaphragm with several pinholes which are located in a pinhole plane, wherein the diaphragm, upon rotation, is located at least partially in the imaging beam path for the purpose of confocal detection;

    a second detector disposed outside of the imaging beam path; and

    a first beam splitter disposed in the imaging beam path between the sample and the diaphragm, wherein the beam splitter deflects sample radiation, reflected by the diaphragm, onto the second detector.
