1. A microscopy system comprising
a microscope with an overview camera for capturing at least one overview image of a sample carrier comprising at least one sample receptacle for receiving at least one sample fluid; and
a computing device configured to determine at least one sample image area of the at least one sample fluid within the at least one overview image;
wherein the computing device comprises an evaluation program into which each determined sample image area is entered and which is configured to determine a fill level of the sample fluid based on the sample image area;
wherein a maximum positioning speed of the sample stage is set as a function of the determined fill level in the at least one sample receptacle, wherein, in the case of sample receptacles with different fill levels, the maximum positioning speed is set as a function of a highest of the different fill levels.
