Abstract
A microscope system (1) includes a microscope and a camera (3) for generating and recording image-based information on an area of observation. A storage and evaluation unit (4) is connected to the microscope (2) and the camera (3) for detecting parameter settings of the microscope associated with the image-based information. A display (5) renders visible the digital image of the area of observation, and a control unit (6) is connected to the storage and evaluation unit (4) and to the display (5). The control unit (6) places digital markers for marking observed objects in a digital image of the area of observation and displays the digital markers on the display (5). The storage and evaluation unit (4) selects and stores information on each digital marker so that the marker can be associated at a later point in time with the position of the observed object.
