摘要:
A method for detecting and controlling supply of an immersion medium into an immersion film region between the front lens of a microscope objective and a preparation, particularly in automated microscopes, using a light source which is reflected into the microscope beam path by means of a beam splitter. The state of the immersion film region is recorded and evaluated in a detection unit of the microscope or a detection unit of the autofocus device through an autofocus signal of the light source and/or a reflection of a modulation object arranged in the intermediate image plane of an incident light illumination, and is transmitted to a control unit for the purpose of a change or an error treatment of the immersion process.
摘要:
A procedure and a device for terminating the immersion at a microscope having one or more immersion lenses, or both immersion lenses and dry lenses, comprising a protective sheath around the immersion film area for preventing the escape of immersion media and an immersion media supply unit and an immersion media discharge unit connected with the protective sheath. The immersion media is removed in a controlled manner in particular in an automated microscope. Subsequently, the microscopic testing can be continued without the user having to intervene in the device or the process.

A microscope including an objective having a focal plane in a sample space, and an autofocus device comprising a light modulator for generating a luminous modulation object that is intensity-modulated periodically along one direction, an autofocus illumination optical unit that images the modulation object such that its image arises in the sample space, an autofocus camera, an autofocus imaging optical unit that images the image of the modulation object in the sample space onto the autofocus camera, a control device, which receives signals of the autofocus camera and determines an intensity distribution of the image of the modulation object and generates a focus control signal therefrom. The control device determines an intensity distribution of the image of a luminous comparison object imaged by the optical unit to correct the intensity distribution of the image of the modulation object with regard to reflectivity variations in the sample space.

A method is provided for determining the distance between two optical boundary surfaces spaced apart from each other in a first direction. A first image is ascertained wherein the plane into which the pattern acquired coincides with a first of two optical boundary surfaces or has the smallest distance to the first optical boundary surface in a first direction. A position of the first image in the first direction is determined. A second image is ascertained wherein the plane into which the pattern acquired coincides with a second of two optical boundary surfaces or has the smallest distance to the second optical boundary surface in the first direction. The position of the second image in the first direction is determined. The distance is calculated by means of determined positions of the first and second image.
摘要:
An autofocus method for a microscope with an objective which images a sample lying in an object plane, including the steps: projecting a longitudinally extended grating slit which lies in a grating slit plane onto the sample, and imaging the projection of the grating slit onto an autofocus camera; determining an intensity distribution of the grating slit image and from this, deducing a preset for a relative adjustment of sample and object plane; projecting a likewise longitudinally extended comparison slit onto the sample, and imaging the projection of the comparison slit onto the autofocus camera; evaluating the width of the comparison slit image at right angles to the longitudinal extension at at least two sites which are spaced apart along the longitudinal extension, and determining a width variation of the comparison slit image, a gradient of the width variation and a direction of the relative adjustment.

The invention relates to an optical assembly for spectral filtration of light, having a plurality of filters which are permeable to light of different spectral ranges, a filter selection mirror which can be moved for selectable deflection of light to different optical paths to the different filters, and an output mirror which can be moved to guide light coming from one of the filters to an optical path which is the same for all the filters. The optical assembly is characterized according to the invention in that in each case at least one stationary deflection optical system is provided for each of the optical paths to the different filters to guide light from the filter selection mirror to the respective filter and/or light from the respective filter to the output mirror, and the stationary deflection optical systems are arranged so that optical path lengths on the different optical paths from the filter selection mirror to the output mirror are equal. The invention further relates to a light microscope having an optical assembly according to the invention.
摘要:
A microscope includes a holder for holding a sample, an objective for imaging at least apart of a sample held by the holder, a detection module, a control unit for setting the focus position of the objective in a first direction for the recording by means of the detection module, and a focusing module for maintaining a set focus position of the objective. The focusing module includes the control unit, a second detector and first focusing optics with adjustable focal length. The focusing module is switchable into a focus-hold mode, wherein an intensity-modulated object is imaged into the sample via the first focusing optics and the objective, and an image of the imaged object is recorded by means of the second detector. The control unit holds the focus position of the objective on the set focus position, based upon the recording of the second detector.
