Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Illuminating arrangement for a microscope ( 200 ) having a first LED ( 10 ) for providing light with a first intensity spectrum (K 1 ) with at least two intensity maxima and an intensity minimum located between the intensity maxima, and at least one further LED ( 20 ) for providing light with a further intensity spectrum (K 2 ) respectively, each further intensity spectrum (K 2 ) having an intensity maximum in the region of the intensity minimum of the first intensity spectrum (K 1 ), and a device ( 30 ) for merging the light of the first LED ( 10 ) and the light of the at least one further LED ( 20 ), by means of which illuminating light can be produced with a combined intensity spectrum (K 3 ) composed of light with the first intensity spectrum and light with each of the further intensity spectra.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An illuminating arrangement ( 100 ) for a microscope ( 200 ), comprising: a first LED ( 10 ) which radiates with a first intensity spectrum (K 1 ) with at least two intensity maxima and an intensity minimum located between the at least two intensity maxima; at least one further LED ( 20 ) which radiates light with a further intensity spectrum (K 2 ) respectively, each further intensity spectrum (K 2 ) having an intensity maximum in the region of the intens…
