    摘要: A microscope (10) for generating a combined image (34; 54; 64) from multiple individual images (28a to 28d; 52a to 52d; 62a to 62d) of an object (30; 50; 60) encompasses at least one illumination device (22) for illuminating the object (30; 50; 60) from at least two different illumination directions (24a, 24b); an image acquisition unit (26) for acquiring multiple individual images (28a to 28d; 52a to 52d; 62a to 62d) of the object (30; 50; 60) illuminated from the at least two different illumination directions (24a, 24b); and an image combination unit (32) for combining the individual images (28a to 28d; 52a to 52d; 62a to 62d) in order to obtain the combined image (34; 54; 64). The image combination unit (32) is embodied to combine the individual images (28a to 28d; 52a to 52d; 62a to 62d) so that an information loss connected with an image artifact of one of the individual images (28a to 28d; 52a to 52d; 62a to 62d) is compensated for utilizing an image datum of at least one other of the individual images (28a to 28d; 52a to 52d; 62a to 62d) in the combined image (34; 54; 64).

    摘要: The invention relates to a transmitted light illumination apparatus (2) for a microscope (1), said transmitted light illumination apparatus (2) comprising, a planar light source (20), a mirror (23) having a concave mirror surface (24) arranged in the direction of light emitted from the planar light source (20), and at least one diaphragm element (22) being at least partially opaque and being arranged between the planar light source (20) and the concave mirror surface (24) such that by moving the at least one diaphragm element (22) in at least one direction parallel to a plane defined by the planar light source (20), the planar light source (20) is at least partially covered by the at least one diaphragm element (22).
