<p>An illumination system increasing resolution, sharpness, depth of field, and perception of depth for a transmitted light microscope including a condenser lens (12) having an optical axis (13), an objective lens (14) having an optical axis (16), and a light source system (26, 29) for providing a plurality of separate light beams wherein the plurality of separate light beams pass through the condenser lens along paths (28a, 32a) that are not coincident with the condenser optical axis (13) and which follow exit paths (33, 34) from the condenser lens which pass through the objective lens and which are at oblique angles to the optical axis (16) of the objective lens.</p> |
