Patent ID: 7873241

Claim:
A method for superimposing optical information in a scanning microscope, comprising: acquiring a CCD image by scanning a specimen with a scanning microscope so as to provide a CCD image; acquiring at least one piece of second image information with the scanning microscope; determining a transformation matrix; and superimposing first optical information of the CCD image and second optical information of the at least one piece of second image information using the transformation matrix, and wherein, so as to take into account independent influencing variables, the determining the transformation matrix is performed by multiplication of a plurality of individual matrices T=T 1* T 2 wherein T represents the transformation matrix and T 1 and T 2 respectively represent the individual matrices, and wherein at least one of the individual matrices T 1 and T 2 takes into account a non-linear deviation due to an imperfect galvanometer movement.
