1. A microscope system, comprising:
at least one microscope component with electrically adjustable component parameters;
a controller configured to generate electrical signals and transmit the electrical signals to the at least one microscope component to set the electrically adjustable component parameters; and
a computer comprising at least one display unit, the computer being configured to generate a graphical user interface on the at least one display unit, at least three setting parameters being adjustable by the graphical user interface,
wherein the graphical user interface has an input pointer that is positionable in an input area so as to set a respective value for the at least three setting parameters,
wherein a coordinate axis is defined in the input area for each of the at least three setting parameters, with at least one coordinate axis not being perpendicular to another coordinate axis,
wherein the values of the at least three setting parameters are determined by the coordinates of the position of the input pointer, and
wherein at least one electrically adjustable component parameter is set based on the at least three setting parameters.
