  • Autofocus-control of a microscope including an electrically tunable lens
    Patent number: 11294163
    Abstract: A microscope-autofocus device for feedback-controlling a focal position of an imaging system of a microscope apparatus, wherein the imaging system includes a microscope objective, a monitoring beam source for creating a monitoring beam, a detector device for detecting a drift variation of an axial objective distance between the microscope objective and a sample by sensing the monitoring beam directed through the imaging system to the sample and reflected by the sample, and a feedback loop device for controlling the imaging system in dependency on the detected objective distance variation of the microscope objective.
