Method for generating an image by means of a microscope and corresponding microscope

A microscope, comprising:

• a microscope objective;
• an image generation unit downstream of the microscope objective in an observation beam path of the microscope for image generation using settable image generation parameters;
• a microscope table configured to accommodate a sample to be imaged;
• a positioning unit configured to position the sample in an object space of the microscope, wherein the positioning unit has a communication connection to the image generation unit;
• and
• a control unit having a communication connection to the positioning unit and the image generation unit, wherein the control unit is configured to, after detection of a movement or an intended movement of the sample and upon determining that a movement variable of the movement or the intended movement exceeds a specified threshold value, change at least one image generation parameter during the movement of the sample depending on the movement variable, the specified threshold value being non-zero and comprising a minimum movement distance, a minimum velocity, or a minimum acceleration, wherein the control unit is configured to change the at least one image generation parameter continuously during the movement of the sample as a function of the movement variable.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed on a processing unit of a microscope, facilitate carrying out a method for image generation by means of the microscope, wherein a sample to be imaged is located in an object space of the microscope for the image generation using specified image generation parameters, the method comprising:

• detecting a movement or an intended movement of the sample;
• comparing a movement variable of the movement or the intended movement to a specified threshold value, wherein the specified threshold value is non-zero and comprises a minimum movement distance, a minimum velocity, or a minimum acceleration;
• and
• upon determining that the movement variable exceeds the specified threshold value, automatically changing at least one image generation parameter during the movement of the sample depending on the movement variable, wherein the change of the at least one image generation parameter is performed dynamically, such that the at least one image generation parameter is changed continuously as a function of the movement variable.
