determining an operational context, in which the microscope is when the voice information item is captured, based on one or more context information items,
determining at least one microscope action in consideration of the voice command,
generating at least one control command to control the microscope to carry out the at least one microscope action, and
carrying out the at least one microscope action by controlling the microscope based on the at least one control command,
wherein a meaning of the voice command is defined in consideration of the operational context, and
wherein at least one of the one or more context information items is generated based on at least one captured microscope image and/or at least one captured microscope video.
