Microscope system for imaging a sample region and corresponding method

A microscope system for imaging at least one region of a sample includes: an image generating unit for microscopic imaging of a section of a sample region to be imaged acquired in an observation beam path; a movement unit for moving the section to be imaged into the observation beam path of the image generating unit; a graphic user interface displayed on a display for establishing a movement range corresponding to the sample region to be imaged by way of at least one user input, the graphic user interface displaying a coordinate system and, after input of at least one point in the displayed coordinate system, the movement range is established as a defined movement volume; and a control unit for activating the movement unit as a function of the defined movement volume so as to approach a set of sections corresponding to the defined movement volume in succession.
