The present invention relates to image analysis of pathology images. In order to improve reliability in image analysis of pathology images, a method is provided for providing support in identifying at least one feature of a tissue sample in a microscopic image. The method comprises the steps of providing a first image of a first microscopy 5 modality representing an area of the tissue sample, providing a second image of a second microscopy modality representing the said area of the tissue sample, generating a first high intensity image by applying a first high intensity filter to the first image or a first low intensity image by applying a first low intensity filter to the first image to obtain first information of the at least one feature, generating a second high intensity image by applying 10 a second high intensity filter to the second image or a second low intensity image by applying a second low intensity filter to the second image to obtain second information of the at least one feature, calculating a correlation of an image pair comprising one of the first high intensity image and the first low intensity image and one of the second high intensity image and the second low intensity image for correlating the first information and the second 15 information of the at least one feature, and outputting the calculated correlation for providing support in identifying the at least one feature of the tissue sample.
