A method for measuring fluorescence correlations in the presence of slow signal fluctuations using a scanning microscope is disclosed. An illuminating light beam is positioned, with the scanning module, for a specific time period on a location of the specimen. Either a direct filtering is performed on the acquired data, or a Fourier analysis is performed. A suitable filter is then used to perform a filtering of the data subjected to the Fourier analysis. Lastly, a correlation function is calculated exclusively on the filtered data.
