Abstract
A controller for microscope lenses for correcting spherical aberration and for adjusting particularly difficult to access microscope lenses to an optimum of imaging quality, enabling automatic adjustment of the different actuators of a microscope lens, to effect a simple, cost-effective, user-friendly, and precise balance, particularly of cover slip deviations and different base thicknesses of Petri dishes for the purposes of increasing imaging quality. At least two movable elements of a microscope objective supporting lenses or lens groups, are provided in a movable manner in the axial direction along the optical axis of the microscope objective relative to the housing of the microscope lens in a motor-actuated manner by way of respective adjusting rings. A controller externally controlled and disposed in the microscope lens is provided for storing different characteristic curves for paths of motion of the movable elements.
