1. A system for positioning a medical object at a desired depth, the system comprising:
a light guiding facility; and
a processing unit configured to receive planning information that specifies a desired depth for an arrangement of a predefined section of a medical object in an examination object with respect to an entry point of the medical object into the examination object,
wherein the medical object has a mark that has a predefined relative positioning with respect to the predefined section, and
wherein the processing unit is further configured to control the light guiding facility for emitting a light distribution as a function of the planning information and the predefined relative positioning such that the light distribution illuminates the mark when the predefined section is arranged at the desired depth.
