    摘要: The invention refers to a process for determining the focus position when imaging a specimen (4) with a field stop imaged onto the specimen detecting this image using a position-sensitive receiving-device inclined relative to the field stop defining the focus position by means of intensity distribution in the receiving device. The invention also refers to set-ups as regards implementation of the process according to the invention. According to the invention, in a process of the above-mentioned type, imaging of the field stop onto the specimen (4) is at least partially superposed by an optical lattice; the position-sensitive receiving device is used to determine intensity values for the light reflected by the specimen; these intensity values are assigned to positions in the receiving device; position-related contrast values are determined from the position-related intensity values; the position of the contrast focus in the receiving device as equivalent of the current focus position is determined using these contrast values.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a device and a method for the observation, documentation and/or diagnosis of the fundus in which the diagnosis is carried out by evaluating the documented images of the fundus. The device according to the invention comprises an ophthalmological examination device, a multi-spectral sequential illumination module, an image recording module, a control and safety module, and an evaluating unit. The illumination module which is connected to the ophthalmologic examination device has at least two individual light sources and which can be regulated individually with respect to intensity and duration and which emit monochromatic light of different wavelengths. The light coming from the illumination module is imaged on the image recording module from the ophthalmologic examination device by the eye being examined. The control and safety module controls the chronological sequence, duration and intensity of the individual light sources and monitors the light stress. An evaluating unit evaluates the recordings of the fundus transmitted by the image recording module. The inventive solution serves to record monochromatic images of the retina, for example, red, green, blue, or also infrared, and to record fluorescence images.

    摘要: A microscope including an objective, which images a sample along a microscope beam path, and an autofocus device, which is coupled into the microscope beam path via a beam splitter at a location behind the objective. A light modulator for generating a two-dimensional, intensity-modulated modulation object, is located in the autofocus beam path in a plane conjugated to the focal plane of the objective or intersects the latter and is imaged into the focal plane of the objective. A camera records a two-dimensional image onto which the modulation object's image is imaged. The image plane of the camera intersects a plane that is conjugated to the modulation object or is located in the plane and the camera detecting the contrast of the modulation object's image located in the sample.

    摘要: A method for producing an image of a layer of an object by a wide field optical element on a resolving detector. The object is illuminated in a focused manner on at least one object plane having at least two binary illuminating patterns. The corresponding images are detected. Light and/or the dark areas of the illuminating patterns completely cover the object when the illuminating pattern is superimposed. A layer image determined from the detected images, includes a partial segment that respectively reproduces a partial area of the object that is arranged inside the light area of one of the used illuminating patterns. Edges are arranged at a distance from the edges of the light area about at least one predefined minimum distance.
