Title:
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING LIGHT-MICROSCOPY, THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003036566
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for imaging a three-dimensional object (22) as an object image (30), which comprises an imaging system that is especially equipped with a microscope for imaging the object (22) and a computer. Actuators change the position of the object (22) in the x, y and z direction in a specific and rapid manner. A recording device records an image stack (26) of individual images (24) in different focal levels of the object (22). A control device controls the hardware of the imaging system, and an analytical device produces a three-dimensional elevation relief image (28) and a texture (29) from the image stack (24). A control device combines the three-dimensional elevation relief image (28) with the texture (29).
