  • SETTING UNIT AND METHOD FOR SETTING A SEQUENCE FOR THE AUTOMATIC RECORDING OF IMAGES OF AN OBJECT BY MEANS OF A RECORDING DEVICE, AND RECORDING DEVICE HAVING SUCH A SETTING UNIT
    Publication number: 20140118528
    Abstract: A setting unit for sequencing automatic recording of images with a recording device. The setting unit provides a first input interface via which a recording program can be set, provides a second input interface via which at least one parameter, which is to be monitored during the execution of the sequence, is proposed and can be selected in dependence on the recording program, provides a third input interface via which at least one condition, and at least one action upon fulfilment of the condition, can be set for the parameter, and generates control data for the control module.

  • Microscope picture processing
    Patent number: 8217998
    Abstract: A microscope image processing method includes applying a computing operation to at least one part of a microscope image, having the following steps: (a) providing the image in the mass storage device, (b) breaking down the microscope image into at least two image segments that can be loaded into the working memory and that have a dimension m, where m?n, (c) for one image segment, determining all pixels that are located in the image segment and in at least one of the partial images, so that a filled image segment results, (d) providing the filled image segment in the working memory, (e) applying the computing operation to the pixels located in the filled image segment so that an image segment result is created, (f) repeating steps (c), (d), and (e) for all image segments, and (g) combining all image segment results to create an overall result.
