Abstract

A parameterization of a control algorithm of a surgical microscope is carried out on the basis of one or more context parameters of an operation. On the basis of the parameterization, the control algorithm then is applied to one or more state indicators associated with a first setting of the surgical microscope in order thus to obtain a second setting of the surgical microscope. By way of example, the parameterization can comprise one or more prioritization operations.
