Abstract

A microscope system having a plurality of microscope modules connected to one another for data transfer purposes. The microscope system includes a central clock generator, the clock signal of which is provided to all microscope modules. The microscope modules are configured to use the clock signal or a clock derived therefrom as an internal clock. Moreover, a corresponding method for operating such a microscope system is described.
