1. A computer-implemented method for color correction of microscope images, comprising:
receiving a microscope image;
localizing an object that corresponds to a predefined object type of a known color in the microscope image using an image processing program that is configured to automatically localize predefined object types of a known color;
determining a color correction on the basis of at least one image region of the localized object to bring a color of the localized object in the image region into accordance with the known color;
calculating a level of suitability for the determining of the color correction for each object localized in the microscope image;
selecting one or more of a plurality of localized objects for the determining of a color correction as a function of calculated levels of suitability; and
applying the color correction to at least a section of the microscope image or of another microscope image, or using the color correction in a capture of a further microscope image.
