A microscope system ( 10, 10', 10'', 10 ''') includes a laser ( 18 ) or light emitting diode ( 18 ''') that generates source light having a non-uniform spatial distribution. An optical system includes an objective ( 40 ) defining a field of view, and an optical train ( 22, 22', 22'', 22 ''') configured to convert the source light into an enlarged-diameter collimated light, to spatially homogenize the enlarged-diameter collimated light, and to couple the homogenized enlarged-diameter collimated light into the objective to provide substantially uniform static illumination of the field of view. A camera system ( 56 ) is statically optically coupled by the objective with at least most of the field of view.
