摘要

Among other things, an illumination device is described, particularly for an observation device, having a light source and optics arranged after the light source, the light source being formed from an arrangement made up of one or more micro light sources. In order to create an illumination device that is simple in terms of construction and may be simply adjusted for different optical properties, it is provided according to the invention that the optics arranged after the micro light source(s) has at least one variable-focus lens element (vario lens). In addition, is an optical observation device is described—for example, an ophthalmologic microscope.
