In this way it can be ensured that the correct distance (Z-direction) between the image recording unit 4 and the calibration standard 7 is always set even during the calibration of the fluorescence microscope 1, and thus reliable measurement results are obtained.
- the window 8 has a further marking 14, which enables the determination of the starting position and a position of the calibration standard 7 in a plane parallel to the cross table 3 (XY position).

- the window 8 on the back can be covered with a partially transparent gray filter, which reduces the excitation and the emission, so that the radiation intensity of the fluorescence radiation 16 emitted by the calibration standard 7 is significantly reduced.
- the emitted fluorescence radiation 16 is attenuated in such a way that the radiation intensity of the fluorescence radiation 16 of the calibration standard 7 is substantially matched to the radiation intensity of the fluorescence radiation emitted by the biological material 7 during the examination.
- the window 8 has on the back a hole pattern grid whose aspect ratio defines the transmission. Again, a reduction of the radiation intensity of the emitted fluorescence radiation 16 of the calibration standard 7 is achieved again.

Due to the use of a narrow-band excitation, an overlap of the excitation and the emission spectrum is reliably prevented, so that the emission spectrum of the calibration standard 7 can be measured completely spectrally.
- the spectrometer system used for the measurement has also been initially calibrated traceable with a certified radiation source.
- the calibration standard 7 is excited by the laser diode to the radiation, the emission spectrum detected by the calibrated spectrometer, so that a traceable luminance measurement is guaranteed to certified radiation source. Therefore, the described calibration standard 7 can be used as a test device.
- a certified luminance standard the so-called "master standard” is used in the production of examination units 1, such as automated fluorescence microscopes, for matching the examination units 1 with the calibration calibrator 7 derived from the master.
- the calibrating standard 7 embodied according to the invention fluorescence microscopes can thus be provided which, on the one hand, are easy to calibrate and, on the other hand, both long-term stable and comparable with each other.
- This advantage is achieved in that in the manufacture of the calibration standard 7 from the excitation by the LED via filtering and imaging to the detection with the camera unit 4, the complete imaging chain can be coherently tested or controlled or even regulated.
- the calibrating standard 7 embodied according to the invention is an integral part of the examination unit 1 and preferably remains on the device over the entire service life.
