The present invention relates to a method for automatically segmenting a color image composed of pixels having been captured for example using a digital microscope. The method provides for a color to be selected representing a region to be segmented of the color image. The colors assigned to the pixels and the color selected are in accordance with a first color model. A clearance for each of the pixels is determined representing a distance between the selected color and the color of the corresponding pixel. The colors assigned to the pixels and the color selected are in accordance with a perception-oriented second color model. One of the pixels is assigned to the segmented region when the clearance assigned to the corresponding pixel is below a settable threshold value and when the hue assigned to the corresponding pixel is within a settable interval around the hue assigned to the selected color.

Method for segmenting a color image and digital microscope

The invention relates to a control device and to a method for controlling a motorized digital microscope. The control device comprises at least one first module () for controlling the hardware, the software and the work flow of the digital microscope during the examination of a specimen. According to the invention, the first module () comprises a first input means () having force feedback for controlling functions of the digital microscope. In a method according to the invention, data input takes place via a first input means, wherein force feedback is generated via the success or progression of the input.
