The invention relates to a method for recording and displaying fluorescence images with high spatial resolution. Several recordations of an image of an object are made sequentially with an electronic camera and, between recordations, the image of the object and the electronic camera are shifted relative to each other. The recordations are subsequently unified to a compiled image of higher spatial resolution. Before or after the partial images are brought together, the signals, which belong to image points of the images and which are obtained at different times, are amplified with amplification factors which are dependent upon the time intervals between the image recordations and are essentially reciprocal to the time dependency of the fluorescence. Artefacts caused by decreasing fluorescence intensities (fading, bleaching) are thereby avoided. These fluorescence intensities decrease as a function of time.
