Abstract:
A method for examining and processing a microscopic sample arranged on a slide includes producing reference markings on the slide by a laser beam of a laser microdissection system. A digital image of the sample and the reference markings on the slide is produced by a digital optical imaging device. An image region is defined and first position information data which indicate a position of the image region is generated. The reference markings are identified in the image and second position information data which indicate a position of the reference markings in the image is generated. The reference markings are identified, and third position information data which indicate the position of the reference markings in the laser microdissection system is generated. The first, second and third position information data are correlated and a sample region which corresponds to the image region is processed.

Claim (Index 11):
The examination system according to  claim 9 , wherein:\n a) the laser microdissection system is configured to produce, by the laser beam, at least two reference markings on the slide, the at least two reference markings being identifiable both by the digital optical imaging device and by the laser microdissection system, b) the sample is applied to the slide, and the system is configured to provide for the application to take place before or after the reference markings are produced on the slide in accordance with feature a), c) the digital optical imaging device is configured to produce a digital image of the sample on the slide, wherein the image also includes the reference markings, d) the digital optical imaging device is configured to define at least one image region of the image and to generate first position information data which indicate the position of the at least one image region in the image, e) the digital optical imaging device is further configured to identify the reference markings in the image and to generate second position information data which indicate a position of the reference markings in the image before, during or after the at least one image region is defined in accordance with feature d), f) the examination system is configured to provide the first and second position information data to the laser microdissection system, g) the laser microdissection system is configured to image the slide having the sample and the reference markings and to identify the reference markings, and to generate third position information data which indicate a position of the reference markings in the laser microdissection system, and h) the laser microdissection system is configured to correlate the first position information data, the second position information data and the third position information data and to process at least one sample region of the sample which corresponds to the at least one image region of the image defined in feature d).
