    摘要: An illumination device for a DUV microscope has an illumination beam path, proceeding from a DUV light source in which are arranged a condenser and a reflection filter system which generates a DUV wavelength band and comprises four reflection filters. At these, the illumination beam is reflected in each case at the same reflection angle &agr;, the illumination beam path extending coaxially in front of and behind the reflection filter system. According to the present invention, the reflection angle &agr;=30° and the DUV wavelength band &lgr;DUV+&Dgr;&lgr; has a half-value width of max. 20 nm and a peak with a maximum value S of more than 90% of the incoming light intensity. The resulting very narrow half-value width of the DUV wavelength band makes it possible for the DUV objectives of the DUV microscope to be very well-corrected.
