Claim One:
1. A method for scanning a sample using an electrically or electronically controllable microscope, comprising the steps of: performing a continuous scanning of the sample so as to repeatedly generate a plurality of images of the sample at a first resolution, each of the plurality of images corresponding to a different time, the microscope being controlled via a control computer during the scanning; analyzing the plurality of images using at least one second computer connected via a network, wherein the at least one second computer is configured to classify each of the plurality of images as one of interesting and non-interesting while the continuous scanning of the sample with the microscope continues; and automatically interrupting the continuous scanning of the sample based on the classifying of the images performed by the at least one second computer so as to capture a same region of the sample which was captured at the first resolution at a different time at a second resolution for a period of time sufficient to capture an event occurring in the region, the second resolution being higher than the first resolution and the continuous scanning being resumed after capturing the event.
