Abstract
A digital microscope having a pivoting stand, a method for calibrating said stand and a method for automatic focus tracking and image center tracking upon actuation of the pivoting stand. The pivoting stand includes an angle sensor for determining a current pivot angle of the pivot arm (). The current pivot angle is processed in the control unit to execute automatic focus tracking and/or center tracking upon actuation of the pivot arm (). Calibration is performed using two pivot angles, wherein deviating focus and image center positions are ascertained, and a pivot-angle-dependent function for focus and the image center position is ascertained therefrom.
