Abstract

A computer-implemented method for ascertaining a need for predictive maintenance for a microscope system. A microscope system, which an image sensor for recording digital images of a sample, recording digital images during regular operation of the microscope system, and providing a digital image as an input data set to an image analysis system, is provided. At least one feature relating to a malfunction of the microscope system during regular operation is determined, a status signal is produced, and a component group of the microscope system for which a maintenance procedure is necessary is determined.
