A microscope system for imaging an object which can be arranged in an object plane of the microscope system, which includes an imaging system, a displacement device and a controller is described. The imaging system may provide at least one optical imaging path for imaging an imaging field of the object plane. The displacement device may be adapted to translatory displace the imaging field of the imaging system in the object plane. The controller is adapted to determine a desired displacement of the imaging field in the object plane and to correspondingly control the displacement device.
