1. A microscope, comprising:
a lens system comprising a lens unit, which is adjustable along an optical axis of the lens system to correct an imaging error,
a motor-actuatable adjustment device, which is configured to adjust the lens unit along the optical axis,
a scanning unit, which is configured to deflect a light beam used for image recording, and
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
compare a position of an image which has been recorded after a correction adjustment of the lens unit to reference data before the correction adjustment of the lens unit,
detect a lateral offset of the position of the image due to the correction adjustment of the lens unit based on the comparison to the reference data, and
activate the scanning unit in such a way that the lateral offset of the position of the image is at least partially compensated for.
