Abstract: A method for imaging an object using an optical device (1), which comprises at least one imaging unit (1.1) and one image recording unit (1.2) having a number of detection regions (3) for detecting intensity values Bij,c, which are representative of the intensity of the light incident on the detection region (3) when imaging the object, to reduce errors, particularly stray light effects, upon imaging the object, a corrected intensity value Bij,c,corr being determined in that a previously determined error correction operator K for the imaging unit (1.1; 1.1?) is applied to the actual intensity value Bij,c detected in the particular detection region (3). A corresponding method for correcting the intensity values Bij,c detected while imaging an object using an optical device and a corresponding method for determining an error correction operator for correcting the intensity values Bij,c detected when imaging an object using an optical device. A corresponding imaging device for performing the method.
