Method, microscope, and computer program for determining a manipulation position in the sample-adjacent region

A microscopy system for the determination of a manipulation position of a microscope for a manipulation in the sample-adjacent region, comprising

• a microscope, which is configured to record an overview image, in which a sample carrier and/or a sample carrier environment is at least partially visible,
• a processing device, which is configured
• to evaluate the overview image by means of an image analysis to locate at least one suitable region, in which a manipulation can be carried out in the sample-adjacent region,
• to determine a manipulation position within the at least one suitable region, and
• to determine a travel movement of an objective and/or a table of the microscope, wherein the travel movement specifies a movement of the objective and/or the table to a position at which manipulation is to take place.
