  • Patent number: 10591712
    Abstract: A microscope arrangement includes a plurality of microscopes, and a control device having a display screen and a data link. The display screen is configured to show microscopy data of the microscopes via the data link using display symbols, each display symbol representing microscopy data received by the control device from a different one of the microscopes. In at least one operational state of the control device, the display symbols are moveable on the display screen to correspond to an arrangement of the microscopes.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 25, 2019
