An illumination arrangement includes illumination optics defining an optical axis and a light source for generating at least one illumination beam path for illuminating an object field at a specific illumination angle with a viewing beam path. At least one mirror is provided in the illumination beam path for deflecting light from the light source and the mirror has a longitudinal extent along the optical axis. A light-emitting surface region of the light source is variable (x) perpendicular to the optical axis without movable components. The illumination optics are embodied in such a way for obtaining a desired illumination that an illumination pupil is imaged within the longitudinal extent of the mirror.

Operating microscope

A surgical microscope () has a viewing optic () which allows a viewing person to view the enlarged display of an object region () in a viewing area (). The viewing optic () has a continuously adjustable magnification system () with which a viewing optic adjusting unit () is associated. The surgical microscope () has an adjustable illuminating system (), which provides illuminating light () for the object region (), to illuminate the object region in an illuminated area () using illuminating light () of adjustable radiation intensity. An illumination system control unit () is provided in the surgical microscope (), the control unit being connected to the viewing optic adjusting unit () for receiving information as to the adjusted magnification of the viewing optic ().
