Abstract: Microscopy and a device for microscopy where with a light field arrangement comprising a multi-lens array and a camera having at least one camera sensor, image data sets which each contain at least one partial image of a sample are successively recorded. To increase a number of the image data sets recordable per unit time, a) measurement data only from a first number of pixels less than a total number of pixels of the at least one camera sensor are read out; b) measurement data only from a second number of pixels less than the total number of pixels or the first number of pixels read are processed further; and/or c) for some or all of the total number of pixels or the first number of pixels read, measurement data are processed further with a bit depth which is less than a maximum possible bit depth.

Abstract: Procedure for equilibration of the delivery volumes of a multi-channel metering apparatus with an arrangement of independently controlled dispensing channels 1.1-1.n, delivering individual volumes of dispensing fluid to cavities 3.1.1-3.n.n, where measured values relevant to the individual delivery volumes are measured for the same control value and from which an adjustment value is specified with a tolerance band and the control value is adjusted for dispensing channels 1.1-1.n, the measured values of which lie outside the tolerance band. The invention also applies to an apparatus for implementing the procedure.
