<p>The invention relates to a microscope illumination comprising at least one laser light source that emits a light beam, beam-guiding optical elements for generating an illumination beam path with distinguished planes, such as pupil and field planes, and a homogenizing arrangement for forming a luminous field that is homogenized with respect to the intensity and is to be directed onto a sample to be observed. According to the invention, the microscope illumination of the above-described type is equipped with a homogenizing arrangement wherein, in a plurality of successive sections of the illumination beam path, optical elements are present which reduce the coherence of the laser light, homogenize the intensity of the light beam, in a pupil plane of the illumination beam path and furthermore homogenize the intensity of the light beam in a field plane of the illumination beam path, wherein an optical system for imaging the then homogenized light beam onto the sample is disposed downstream of the homogenizing arrangement.</p> |
