  • Patent number: 11978134
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for displaying polarizing samples, a microscopy system, and a computer program product. According to the invention, different types of polarization contrasts are to be prepared and provided for a common, simultaneous display on a user interface, wherein the same polarization angle is automatically displayed for all contrast types. If the selected polarization angle is changed, it should be changed synchronously in the display of all contrast types.

  • Publication number: 20220335580
    Abstract: Corrected images are produced with an apparatus that includes a detector and a control unit. In a first operating mode, a plurality of image tiles of an object are captured as a plurality of image pixels. The control unit generates commands to capture each image, such that it partially overlaps with at least one other image tile in an image tile overlap region having a minimum size. Each captured image tile and/or a resultant image is combined pixel-wise by calculation in a brightness correction image. In a second operating mode, the brightness correction image is produced by capturing a plurality of correction image tiles of the object as a plurality of image pixels, and control commands are generated, so the object is moved relative to a detection beam path and a size of a correction image overlap region is greater than the minimum size of the image tile overlap region.

  • Publication number: 20220335581
    Abstract: Techniques for producing a brightness correction image of an object are disclosed, where at least two correction image tiles of the object are captured as pluralities image pixels and the correction image tiles are combined by calculation. The image data of each correction image tile are captured during a capture duration, and the object is displaced transversely to the optical axis of the detection beam path by at least one image pixel in a first direction during the capture duration of a first correction image tile and by at least one image pixel in a second direction during the capture duration of a further correction image tile, with an angle between the first and second directions being greater than 0° and no more than 90°.
