    Abstract: A method for laser microdissection of a laser microdissection region of a prepared specimen includes driving a holder for the specimen into a holding position using a control device. First and second digital images are captured that depict a same portion of the prepared specimen, with the first image depicting the portion under at least one first microscopic examination method and the second image depicting the portion under at least a second microscopic examination method. A live overlay image is generated of the portion of the prepared image in a live mode. The live overlay is presented on a display area with the images overlaid onto one another. A marking is generated and captured on the live overlay image so as to define the laser microdissection region.

    Abstract: A laser microdissection system includes a microscope that includes a reflected light device having a laser deflector which guides a laser beam provided by a laser through a microscope objective of the microscope onto a sample region for receiving a biological sample and which moves a point of impingement of the laser beam in the sample region. The laser microdissection system also includes a rinsing device comprising fluid dispenser configured to provide a suspension fluid in the sample region and a fluid remover arranged on the rinsing device configured to remove a suspension produced using the suspension fluid from the sample region.

    Abstract: A method for laser microdissection includes: processing a microscopic examination object by a laser beam using tuples of coordinate values which respectively indicate positions of target points on the examination object at least in a first spatial direction and a second spatial direction orthogonal to the first spatial direction, positions of at least three reference points being ascertained beforehand in each case in the first and second spatial directions and also in a third spatial direction orthogonal to the first and second spatial directions; defining a reference plane based on the positions of the reference points; and determining, for the target points, further coordinate values indicating an expected position of the target points on the examination object in the third spatial direction in each case, as determined further coordinate values, the determining of the further coordinate values being performed depending on the defined reference plane.

    Abstract: A method for obtaining dissectates from a microscopic sample using a laser microdissection system having a laser unit includes: a) at least partially circumcising and releasing from the sample dissectate regions of the sample as the dissectates using laser pulses provided by the laser unit; b) transferring the dissectates, by being released from the sample, along dissectate trajectories into receptacles of a dissectate collection unit; and c) positioning the receptacles of a dissectate collection unit using a positioning unit to collect the dissectates. The positioning of the receptacles of the dissectate collection unit using the positioning unit is automatically performed based on estimates of the dissectate trajectories, the estimates of the dissectate trajectories being obtained in a learning mode, the learning mode including obtaining dissectates by repeatedly performing at least steps a) and b). Parameters of the dissectate trajectories are determined for a plurality of dissectates.

    Abstract: A method for optically examining a biological sample includes: preparing a light-activatable specimen including the biological sample; activating a target region of the light-activatable specimen by irradiating activation light into the light-activatable specimen, the activation light being formed by a light sheet that illuminates a plane in the light-activatable specimen, the plane including at least a part of the biological sample; and imaging the plane illuminated with the light sheet.

    Abstract: A laser microscope system includes a microscope and a lens defining an optical axis and a rear focal plane, as well as a laser and an optical laser system coupling a laser beam into the microscope such that it passes through the rear focal plane of the lens at a fixed point. The optical laser system has an offset lens movable along an axis of the laser beam path to move the laser beam focus in the direction of the optical axis. The optical laser system has a compensating lens arranged in the laser beam path and movable along the axis of the laser beam path. A controller and/or a mechanical coupling device carries out a movement of the compensating lens along the axis of the laser beam path when the lens is moved such that the laser beam continues to pass through the fixed point.
