Abstract
A light source module for a microscope, including a light source configured to emit illumination light along an illumination light path, at least one light blocking shutter configured to be moved into and out of the illumination light path, and at least one light sensor configured to detect an intensity of the illumination light propagating along the illumination light path. The at least one light sensor is integrated with the at least one light blocking shutter to be moved therewith into and out of the illumination light path.

A light source module for a microscope, comprising:
- a light source configured to emit illumination light along an illumination light path,
- at least one light blocking shutter configured to be moved into and out of the illumination light path, and
- at least one light sensor configured to detect an intensity of the illumination light propagating along the illumination light path,
- wherein the at least one light sensor is integrated with the at least one light blocking shutter to be moved therewith into and out of the illumination light path.
A method for illuminating a sample by a light source module in a microscope, comprising:
- emitting illumination light along an illumination light path onto the sample by a light source of the light source module, and
- detecting an intensity of the illumination light propagating along the illumination light path by at least one light sensor which is integrated with at least one light blocking shutter of the light source module, the at least one light blocking shutter being configured to be moved into and out of the illumination light path.
