A head-mountable display device for displaying an image received from a microscope comprises a first display configured to display a first image of a part of an object, the first image received from a microscope. Further, the head-mountable display device comprises a first optical arrangement located in front of the first display. The first optical arrangement comprises at least one lens. Additionally, the head-mountable display device comprises a mounting structure configured to fasten the first display to the head of a user. The head-mountable display device is configured to allow a direct line of sight from a first eye of the user to the object in a field of view of the user outside of the first display while the user is watching the first display through the first optical arrangement, if the mounting structure is fastened to the head of a user. An angle between a display direction and the direct line of sight is less than 50° and the display direction is orthogonal to the first display.

Head-mountable display device and method for displaying an image received from a microscope

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

Transmitted light illumination apparatus for a microscope

A microscope () for generating a combined image () from multiple individual images (tototo) of an object () encompasses at least one illumination device () for illuminating the object () from at least two different illumination directions (); an image acquisition unit () for acquiring multiple individual images (tototo) of the object () illuminated from the at least two different illumination directions (); and an image combination unit () for combining the individual images (tototo) in order to obtain the combined image (). The image combination unit () is embodied to combine the individual images (tototo) so that an information loss connected with an image artifact of one of the individual images (tototo) is compensated for utilizing an image datum of at least one other of the individual images (tototo) in the combined image ().

A microscope () for detecting images of an object () located in an object plane () is described, comprising a microscope stand (); a microscope objective (); a light source () integrated into the microscope stand (); and a beam splitter (), integrated into the microscope objective (), for coupling in a coaxial incident illumination.

Microscope

The invention relates to an incident illumination device for a microscope, for viewing a sample () in the microscope (), having a planar light source () for incident illumination of the sample (), wherein the planar light source () comprises a panel-shaped light guide having a lower boundary surface (), an upper boundary surface, and at least one lateral surface, as well as at least one light-emitting means that is arranged so that it irradiates light, via at least one lateral surface serving as a light entry surface, into the light guide in such a way that said light propagates in the light guide due to total reflection; wherein the total reflection is disrupted in defined fashion by an element abutting at the lower boundary surface of the light guide against a contact surface so that an outcoupling of light occurs at the upper boundary surface of the light guide.
