Abstract
An illumination device for an optical device, a microscope or a macroscope includes a first illumination source configured to emit light which is directed via an illumination beam path onto an object to be illuminated that is arranged in an object plane. At least one second illumination source is positionable in the illumination beam path, and is transparent or semitransparent as well as self-luminous. The at least one second illumination source is configured to allow light emitted from the first illumination source to pass through at least in part. The object plane having the object to be illuminated is configured to be illuminated both by the first and by the at least one second illumination source.
