Abstract
A control device for a microscope includes an operating device, an actuator and a processor. The operating device is configured to be operated by a user to vary focusing and/or positioning of an optical imaging system of the microscope relative to a sample. The actuator is configured to adjust an aperture of a detection pinhole which is included in the microscope so as to eliminate out-of-focus light from detection light which is directed by the optical imaging system onto a detector of the microscope. The processor is configured to detect a predetermined operating condition in response to a user operation of the operating device and to control the actuator to vary the aperture of the detection pinhole upon detection of the predetermined operating condition.
