    Abstract: A method for calibrating a microscope apparatus (1) having a variable optical magnification system (13) and a detector device (12) is disclosed. First, a calibrating mode is performed, wherein an image (50) of an object (10) is captured at a known reference magnification value, two characteristic reference points (32a, 32b) are determined in the image, a reference distance (34) between the two reference points is determined, and a correlation is determined between the reference distance and the reference magnification value. Later, a measuring mode is implemented, in which a current image (51) of the object (10) is captured at a second magnification value, the two characteristic reference points (52a, 52b) are identified therein, a current distance (54) between the current reference points is determined, and the second magnification value is determined from the current distance (54) based on the correlation between the reference distance (34) and the reference magnification value.

    Abstract: Examination of a microscopic specimen is described. Height information for a respective plurality of lateral regions of the specimen is obtained from each of multiple specimen recordings, in which the height information of each specimen recording is limited to a respective height measurement range and the height measurement ranges of different specimen recordings are different. An overall image is calculated from the specimen recordings, in which overall image height information of the different specimen recordings is combined. Specimen recordings are recorded at such heights that: the height measurement ranges of different specimen recordings overlap each other, common lateral regions are identified in two respective specimen recordings for which lateral regions height information could be obtained in both specimen recordings, and a link of the height information of different specimen recordings is determined on the basis of the height information of different specimen recordings for at least one common lateral region.

    Abstract: In an inner layer measurement method, first irradiation light and second irradiation light having a peak wavelength longer than that of the first irradiation light are formed by changing at least one of a position where light emitted from a lamp is transmitted through a short pass filter and a position where light emitted from a lamp is transmitted through a long pass filter. Then, a first XY sectional surface of a semitransparent body is measured by irradiating the first XY sectional surface with the first irradiation light. A second XY sectional surface positioned on a layer deeper than the first XY sectional surface is measured by irradiating the second XY sectional surface with the second irradiation light. Each of the short pass filter and the long pass filter can transmit the light and has properties of changing a cutoff wavelength according to the position where the light is transmitted.
