    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 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: 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.
