Abstract

The invention relates to a control device and to a method for controlling a motorized digital microscope. The control device comprises at least one first module (01) for controlling the hardware, the software and the work flow of the digital microscope during the examination of a specimen. According to the invention, the first module (01) comprises a first input means (02, 16) having force feedback for controlling functions of the digital microscope. In a method according to the invention, data input takes place via a first input means, wherein force feedback is generated via the success or progression of the input.
