    Abstract: An image processing apparatus for determining a focused output image in a passive autofocus system is configured to retrieve a set of input images and compute a baseline estimate for at least one input image. The baseline estimate represents image structures in the input image. The image structures have a length scale larger than a predetermined image feature length scale. The image processing apparatus is further configured to compute a set of output images, wherein each output image of the set of output images is computed based on one of a different input image of the set of input images and the at least one baseline estimate for the different input image and the at least one baseline estimate for a respective different input image. The image processing apparatus is further configured to determine one output image of the set of output images as the focused output image.

    Abstract: An apparatus for data processing for a digital imaging device is provided. The digital imaging device is configured to generate a digital image of a recording region by reading out, raster-element-by-raster-element, a multidimensional complete raster. The complete raster includes a plurality of raster elements. The apparatus is part of a control unit of the imaging device or is configured to be controllable by the control unit of the imaging device. The apparatus is configured to process raw image data from at least one sub-region of the complete raster that has already been read out during the reading out, generate processed image data in at least one processing step as a function of the raw image data, and make the processed image data available for display for access from outside the apparatus.

    Abstract: A laser microdissection includes a microscope having an incident-light device, a microscope objective, and a laser unit operable to produce a laser beam having a beam path extending through the incident-light device and through the microscope objective and intersecting an object plane of the microscope objective at an adjustable intersection point. The laser microdissection systems further includes an electrophoresis unit located below the object plane and containing an electrophoresis gel including one or more gel pockets, and a positioning device operable to position the electrophoresis gel in parallel with the object plane of the microscope objective and relative to a defined reference position such that dissectates of a sample that can be arranged in the object plane can be collected in the one or more gel pockets. The electrophoresis unit is operable to be attached by a coupling device. The dissectates are obtained via the laser beam.

    Abstract: A method for performing a laser microdissection for cutting a dissectate from a specimen using a laser includes the step of providing the specimen in a light path of an illumination system. The specimen is illuminated by the illumination system. A detector detects light emanating from the specimen. The light detected by the detector is analyzed. It is determined, based on the analysis of the light detected by the detector, whether a receptacle for collecting the dissectate is disposed in a predetermined collection position, at which the dissectate is to be collected in the receptacle after it is cut from the specimen. Laser cutting of the dissectate from the specimen is initiated based on it having been determined that the receptacle is in the predetermined collection position.

    Abstract: A method for generating region-specific amplification templates of a biological sample includes adding first oligonucleotide constructs and second oligonucleotide constructs to the biological sample. Each first or second oligonucleotide construct comprises a first or a second photoremovable cage molecule. The method further includes synthesising a complementary first strand from a template bound to target binding regions of each first oligonucleotide construct or each second oligonucleotide construct, scanning a first region of interest of the biological sample with a first focused light beam and a second region of interest of the biological sample with a second focused light beam to form uncaged first oligonucleotide constructs in the first region of interest and uncaged second oligonucleotide constructs in the second region of interest, synthesising a complementary second strand to form first amplification templates originating from the first region of interest and second amplification templates originating from the second region of interest.

    Abstract: A method for laser microdissection includes: processing a microscopic examination object by a laser beam using tuples of coordinate values which respectively indicate positions of target points on the examination object at least in a first spatial direction and a second spatial direction orthogonal to the first spatial direction, positions of at least three reference points being ascertained beforehand in each case in the first and second spatial directions and also in a third spatial direction orthogonal to the first and second spatial directions; defining a reference plane based on the positions of the reference points; and determining, for the target points, further coordinate values indicating an expected position of the target points on the examination object in the third spatial direction in each case, as determined further coordinate values, the determining of the further coordinate values being performed depending on the defined reference plane.
