Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021180982A1] The invention relates to a microscopy method and to a device (100) for examining microscope specimens (102). A microscope specimen (102) comprises an object (104) to be examined by microscope and a specimen carrier (106), which holds the object (104). In order to simplify the examination, in particular the identification, of microscope specimens (102), the device (100) is designed to calculate a digital identification code (108) of the microscope specimen (102) by means of fingerprinting (110) of the microscope specimen (102) using at least one optical marker (112) in at least one digital image (114) of at least part of the object (104). The microscope specimen (102) can be recognized by means of the digital identification code (108).
