Patent Images
1. A method for high-resolution image recording of at least one object with a microscope, comprising the steps of:
- positioning the at least one object in a receptacle arranged in an optical axis of the microscope,generating at least two first data sets per object, wherein;
(a) the at least two first data sets represent intermediate images of the at least one object with at least two different predetermined orientations relative to the optical axis of the microscope, (b) the at least two different predetermined orientations of the object are provided by controlled movement of the at least one object relative to the receptacle, and (c) the controlled movement comprises a rotation of the at least one object by an influence of electrical field forces, said object being rotated around at least one of a predetermined axis and a predetermined rotation angle, andevaluating the data sets to obtain quantitative three-dimensional information of the at least one object, wherein said quantitative three-dimensional information represents a three-dimensional shape of the at least one object.

Abstract
A method for high-resolution image recording of at least one object with a microscope, includes the steps of: (a) positioning the object in a receptacle being arranged in the optical axis of the microscope, (b) generating at least two first data sets per object which represent intermediate images of the object with at least two different orientations relative to the optical axis of the microscope, wherein the different orientations of the object are provided by moving the object relative to the receptacle, and (c) evaluating the data sets for obtaining quantitative three dimensional information.

14. An imaging device for high-resolution image recording of at least one object, comprising:
-
a microscope imaging system with an optical axis, a receptacle for accommodating said at least one object, said receptacle being arranged in said optical axis, and a control circuit being arranged for;
(a) generating at least two first data sets per object, wherein said at least two first data sets represent intermediate images of the at least one object with at least two different predetermined orientations relative to the optical axis, (b) providing controlled movement of the at least one object relative to the receptacle to generate the at least two different predetermined orientations, wherein the controlled movement comprises a rotation of the at least one object by an influence of electrical field forces, said object being rotated around at least one of a predetermined axis and a predetermined rotation angle, and (c) evaluating the data sets to obtain an object image representing a three-dimensional shape of the at least one object, anda driving device adapted to controllably move the at least one object relative to the receptacle. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method for high-resolution image recording of at least one object with a measuring device with a predetermined measurement field, comprising the steps of:
-
positioning the at least one object in a receptacle arranged in the measurement field of the measuring device, generating at least two first data sets per object, wherein;
(a) the at least two first data sets represent intermediate data of the at least one object with at least two different predetermined orientations relative to the measurement field of the measuring device, (b) the at least two different predetermined orientations of the object are provided by controlled movement of the at least one object relative to the receptacle, and (c) the controlled movement comprises a rotation of the at least one object by an influence of electrical field forces, said object being rotated around at least one of a predetermined axis and a predetermined rotation angle, andevaluating the data sets to obtain quantitative three-dimensional information of the at least one object, wherein said quantitative three-dimensional information represents the three-dimensional shape of the at least one object. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
