A microscope includes a control system connected to an illumination system and an imaging system. The control system is configured to: detect an image affecting change in microscope settings and/or in a location of the sample, the image affecting change resulting in an alteration of the sample image; cause the imaging system to deliver a live image stream of live images of the sample in a first imaging mode, or to deliver a still image stream of still image(s) of the sample in a second imaging mode, and to switch from the first imaging mode into the second imaging mode when no image affecting change is detected, using one of the last live images of the first imaging mode for at least a part of the still image stream in the second imaging mode; and reduce an illumination intensity of the illumination system during the second imaging mode.
