摘要 |
The present invention concerns an apparatus for illuminating a specimen (1), preferably in confocal fluorescence scanning microscopy, having one illumination beam path (2) of one light source (3) and at least one further illumination beam path (4) of a further light source (5), the illumination beam paths (2, 4) being at least partially superimposable on one another, and in order to simplify alignment and reduce the optical components in the illumination beam path, is characterized in that at least one optical component (7) is arranged at least in one of the illumination beam paths (2, 4) and modifies the light; and that the optical properties of the component (7) can be influenced or modified in such a way that the illumination pattern of the illumination beam path (2, 4) in the specimen region changes shape.
