1. A microscope, comprising:
a motorized object stage configured to move an object;
an optical imaging system configured to form an optical image of a plane (OE) in which the object is to be optically imaged;
an optical scanning unit configured to move the plane (OE) to be optically imaged by the optical imaging system relative to the optical imaging system;
an image sensor configured detect the optical image of the plane (OE) formed by the optical imaging system; and
a controller configured to control the motorized object stage and the optical scanning unit for simultaneously moving the object and the plane (OE) in a same direction relative to the optical imaging system while the optical image is being detected by the image sensor, wherein the optical imaging system has a first field of view and the image sensor has a second field of view, the second field of view being encompassed by the first field of view.
