Abstract
An illumination apparatus for illuminating an examination object, in particular for illuminating a fundus section of a patient's eye, includes at least one light source which emits light onto a micromirror actuator, which is controllable by a control device for the purpose of preshaping the wavefront reflected by the micromirror actuator, and at least one light guide configured to guide the reflected light of the light source that has been preshaped by the micromirror actuator to an examination object. The light guide includes a first end for coupling light into the light guide and a second end for coupling light out of the light guide. In addition, an illumination method, and also an illumination system and a method for operating an illumination system are provided.
