Abstract

A microscopy system comprises a microscope for analyzing a sample, a computing device for processing measurement signals and at least one microphone for capturing sounds. The computing device is configured to evaluate captured sounds in order to identify a microscope activity in progress or command an intervention in the microscope activity in progress or identify ambient sounds based on microscope sounds.
