Abstract
An apparatus for automated examination of biological material () includes a microscope () with a cross table () with the biological material () being arranged on the cross table () between an object slide () or an analysis plate and a cover (); a light source (); an evaluation unit; a device for automatic focusing (); an image recording unit () for recording an image of the biological material () enlarged via of an object lens () of the microscope () and for transferring the image to the evaluation unit; and a biochip (). Labeling () is provided on a surface of the biochip (). Focusing is executable by targeted movement of the cross table () based on detection of the labeling (), and a target interval is determinable by determination of a location and/or a position of the labeling, within which focusing of the biological material takes place.
