Abstract
An inverted microscope is provided, the inverted microscope including a microscope stage which includes an opening prepared for transmitted light illumination and which is designed to receive a sample holder and an imaging optical unit arranged below the microscope stage. A closed lower incubation space which surrounds at least the imaging optical unit is arranged adjacent to a lower side of the microscope stage. The inverted microscope is configured such that a temperature in the lower incubation space is adjustable to a specifiable target temperature, for the purposes of which at least one temperature sensor is arranged in the lower incubation space, the measurement signal of the at least one temperature sensor serving to set the specifiable target temperature.
