Abstract

A control device for a microscope includes an actuator configured to shift a microscopic field of view relative to a sample, and an operating device configured to be operated by a user to control the actuator in accordance with a response characteristic determining a shift sensitivity. The field of view is shifted relative to the sample in response to a user operation of the operating device. The control device further includes a processor configured to determine a total visual magnification, and to control the response characteristic of the operating device based on the total visual magnification. The field of view is visualized by the microscope to the user based on the total visual magnification.
