Abstract
The invention relates to a reflection-reduced contrast imaging method and to a device for generating a reflection-reduced contrast image, preferably from microscopic images, in particular in order to read height progression information of a condition of an object. The reflection-reduced contrast imaging method comprises: illuminating an object by means of an illumination sequence, creating an illumination image of the object for each illumination of the object of the illumination sequence, determining a reflection-corrected illumination image for each illumination image, superposing each pair of reflection-corrected illumination images that are adjacent with respect to the first axis in order to form a first whole axis image of the first axis, superposing each pair of reflection-corrected illumination images that are adjacent with respect to the second axis in order to form a second whole axis image of the second axis, creating a first color progression image on the basis of the first whole axis image, creating a second color progression image on the basis of the second whole axis image, transforming the first color progression image and the second color progression image into a color space, generating a contrast image on the basis of the first color progression image and the second color progression image transformed in the color space.
