Abstract
The invention relates to a method for operating a microscope device having a first and a second zoom microscope, wherein a zoom adjustment of the second zoom microscope is carried out in dependence upon a zoom adjustment of the first zoom microscope. It is provided according to this method that, in order to set a determined magnification ratio between the zoom microscopes, the zoom adjustment of the second zoom microscope is automatically carried out on the basis of a coupling function or that, in order to carry out a size comparison between specimens brought into beam paths of the two zoom microscopes, the zoom adjustment of the first zoom microscope and the zoom adjustment of the second zoom microscope are carried out as desired by a user and a magnification ratio between the zoom adjustments carried out is determined in dependence upon these zoom adjustments and on the basis of a coupling function, through which an assignment of zoom adjustments of the first zoom microscope to zoom adjustments of the second zoom microscope is produced. In addition the invention relates to a microscope device with two zoom microscopes.
