ELECTRONIC MICROSCOPE

An electronic microscope has an electronic image sensor for generating primary image data sets, wherein the image sensor is configured to generate image signals that correspond to a plurality of different reception spectra, and wherein each primary image data respectively comprises at least one image signal of each of the plurality of reception spectra for a plurality of image zones. A control device of the microscope is configured to control an illumination device to make a cyclically repeating transmission of electromagnetic radiation having a plurality of different illumination spectra and to control the image sensor to generate a respective primary image data set for each of the plurality of different illumination spectra. A processing unit of the microscope is configured to calculate the reflection spectrum from the generated primary image data sets for at least some of the plurality of image zones and, starting from the primary image data sets generated for the plurality of different illumination spectra, to determine at least one secondary image data set in dependence on the calculated reflection spectrum, said secondary image data set being at least partly modified with respect to the primary image data sets.
