Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021004850A1] The invention relates to a method for correcting aberration-induced imaging errors in an optical system, which comprises an objective lens (14) and adaptive optics (18), in which method the light (5) and a specimen (20) are selected such that, as the light (5) acts on the specimen (20), a measuring signal (28) from the specimen (20) is reduced, a relative change in the measuring signal (28) depending on an intensity of the light (5). The measuring signal (28) from a focus region of the optical system in the specimen (20) is captured over a first and a later, second period (38, 37) to determine a first and a second measured value. The light (5) is focussed by the optical system in the focus region over a third period (39) overlapping with the first and/or second period. A numerical value for the relative change in the measuring signal (28) is determined from the first and the second measured values and is used as a metric to be optimised in controlling the adaptive optics (18).
