Abstract

A microscope is provided. The microscope includes a lens system comprising a lens unit, which is adjustable along an optical axis of the lens system to correct an imaging error. The microscope further includes a motor-actuatable adjustment device, which is configured to adjust the lens unit along the optical axis. The microscope also includes a processor and a scanning unit, which is configured to deflect a light beam used for the image recording. The processor is configured to compare a position of an image which has been recorded after a correction adjustment of the lens unit to reference data, detect a change of the position of the image due to the correction adjustment of the lens unit based on the comparison, and activate the scanning unit in such a way that the change of the position of the image is at least partially compensated for.
