Transmitted light/lighting device for microscopes
First Claim
1. A transmitted-light illumination arrangement for a microscope comprising:
- at least one first LED light source radiating in an illumination direction of the microscope;
at least one second LED light source radiating in the opposite direction; and
a concave mirror for deflecting light of the oppositely radiating light source in the illumination direction, said oppositely radiating light source being located in the focal point thereof.

Abstract
A transmitted-light illumination arrangement for microscopes has at least one LED which is arranged interchangeably in or in the vicinity of the plane of the aperture diaphragm of illumination optics or in front of Köhler illumination optics. The transmitted-light illumination arrangement advantageously has at least one LED light source radiating in the illumination direction of the microscope and at least one LED light source radiating in the opposite direction, wherein the light of the oppositely radiating light source is deflected in the illumination direction via deflecting mirrors, preferably a concave mirror, this light source being located in the focal point thereof.

5. A transmitted-light illumination arrangement for a microscope comprising:
-
at least two LED light sources which radiate in the illumination direction of the microscope and in the opposite direction in a first position;
deflecting mirrors for deflecting the light of radiating light source in the illumination direction, said mirrors preferably include a concave mirror, said oppositely radiating light source being located in the focal point thereof;
at least two oppositely radiating light sources whose radiating directions extend at right angles to an optical axis of a condenser in a second position; and
at least one deflecting mirror for deflecting the radiation of the light sources in the direction of illumination, wherein these are the same light sources and, for purposes of switching between the first position and second position, are rotatable about a connection axis which extends at right angles to the optical axis. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)
two LED light sources arranged outside the optical axis, whose distance to the optical axis can be changed by means of displacement and/or swiveling about a common center of rotation.
