An illumination device for an object to be examined through the objective of a microscope, comprises an illumination housing to be releasably connectable to a microscope. The housing extends along an axis and has two open front sides for the path of rays of the microscope's objective. For illumination, there is at least one light source which exhibits a plurality of light exits arranged in the illumination housing; wherein the light exits are inclined with respect to the axis of the housing. A translucent plate is connected to and removable from the illumination housing in a tool-free releasable manner so as to cover one of the open front sides as well as the light exits and to serve as a support surface for the object in the cases of dark-field illumination and back lighting bright field illumination.
