1. A microscopy method for examining a microscopic specimen, wherein illuminating light is emitted with a light source device to the specimen, wherein specimen light coming from the specimen is guided with optical imaging means to a detector unit, wherein the specimen light is measured with the detector unit to produce specimen recordings, wherein height information for a respective plurality of lateral regions of the specimen is obtained from each specimen recording, wherein the height information of each specimen recording is limited to a respective height measurement range and the height measurement ranges of different specimen recordings are different from each other, and wherein an overall image is calculated from the specimen recordings, in which height information of the different specimen recordings is brought together, wherein specimen recordings are recorded at such heights that the height measurement ranges of different specimen recordings overlap each other, common lateral regions are identified in two respective specimen recordings, for which common lateral regions height information could be obtained in both specimen recordings, and a link between the height information of different specimen recordings is determined on the basis of the height information of different specimen recordings for at least one common lateral region, wherein the lateral regions, of which the heights lie within the respective height measurement range, are determined and selected for each specimen recording, and only the height information of these selected lateral regions is used to calculate the overall image.
