Method for automatedly aligning a stand for a microscope, stand for a microscope and microscope assembly

A stand for a microscope for automatedly aligning the microscope to a target point, the stand comprising:

• controllable positioning means for positioning the microscope with respect to an object to be observed with the microscope;
• controllable orienting means for orienting the microscope with respect to the object;
• and
• a control unit configured to:
• a) define a target point to be observed by the microscope, wherein the target point is located within a coordinate range accessible by the stand;
• b) stabilize the microscope at a user determined position in an automated manner using the controllable positioning means of the stand;
• and
• c) adjust an orientation of the microscope at the user determined position to the target point in an automated manner using the controllable orienting means of the stand;
• wherein the target point is defined in the control unit before steps b) and c) are performed, on the basis of a user input and/or on the basis of provided object data and/or by determining and saving a focus point to which the microscope is focused when a predetermined user input is provided.
