Abstract
To provide an illumination beam () which is essentially homogeneous in cross-section, in particular for a laser scanning microscope (), an illumination device is used which provides an original beam which is essentially rotationally symmetric in cross-section and is incident at a converting unit which then transmits the desired illumination beam () and which comprises, for this purpose, an aspherical, convex mirror () which is more strongly curved in the area of the point of incidence of the original beam () than in the areas removed from the point of incidence.
