Abstract

The invention relates to a method and device for generating an overview contrast image of a sample carrier in a microscope, which images a sample arranged on the sample carrier. The sample carrier on which the sample is located is illuminated in transmitted light from a two-dimensional illumination array, which has individually switchable single light sources and illuminates the sample volume in transmitted light, and a processing unit, which activates and reads out the camera in order to record multiple different raw overview images of the sample carrier.
