  • Patent number: 11776283
    Abstract: The present application relates to a method for the cytometric analysis of multiple cell samples by a microscope for examining multiple cell samples under a microscope, wherein the microscope can be or is operated, selectively and/or alternatingly, in a transmission mode and/or in a fluorescence mode, and wherein at least one cell sample has at least one fluorescence marker. The method includes; moving the cell samples continuously in one plane relative to an optical system of the microscope having at least one microscope camera, wherein, during the movement of the cell samples, at least one or more images of a sub-region of the cell samples are recorded in the transmission mode or in the fluorescence mode and at least one or more images of the same sub-region of the cell samples are recorded in the fluorescence mode by at least one microscope camera.

  • Patent number: 11216693
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing at least one evaluation method for samples (2) in at least one optical application system (5) of a microscope-based application technology, where the following steps are performed: developing the evaluation method at least by an automated training (130) of an evaluation means (60) for an evaluation (120) of a specific type of sample on the basis of the application technology by an optical training system (4), the training (130) determining a training information (200) which at least partially defines the evaluation method, at least the training information (200) for distributing (140) the evaluation method to the at least one application system (5), wherein the provision takes place as a function of the type of sample and of the application technology.

  • Patent number: 11199689
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for microscopic evaluation (120) of a sample (2), in particular at least one uncolored object or cell sample (2), in an optical detection system (1), where the following steps are performed: providing at least two different detection information (110) about the sample (2), in particular by the detection system (1), performing an evaluation (120) of the detection information (110), in particular by an analysis means (60), on the basis of machine-learned transfer information (200), in order to determine result information (140) about the sample (2), the transfer information (200) being trained for a different detection parameterization of the detection information (110), in which the detection information (110) differs from one another in terms of at least one illumination parameter of the detection system (1), in particular in terms of polarization and/or color coding.
