1. A method for creating an overall image of an object from a plurality of recorded images that each depict a small area of the object, the method comprising: dividing the overall image into fields; assigning a part of the plurality of recorded images to each of the fields of the overall image; and composing the plurality of recorded images into the overall image, wherein the part of the plurality of the recorded images of a first field is first recorded and composed, and then the part of the plurality of recorded images of a second field is recorded and composed, and wherein composing the part of the plurality of the recorded images of the first field comprises: seeking at least two edges of a first recorded image that overlap respectively with an edge of a second recorded image adjacent to the first recorded image and an edge of a third recorded image adjacent to the first recorded image; and performing a correlation of the overlapping edges of the first to third recorded images, wherein the correlation is weighted for the relative position of neighboring recorded images to each other.
