Illuminating arrangement for a microscope

An illuminating arrangement (100) for a microscope (200), comprising:

• a first LED (10) which radiates with a first intensity spectrum (K1) with at least two intensity maxima and an intensity minimum located between the at least two intensity maxima;
• at least one further LED (20) which radiates light with a further intensity spectrum (K2) respectively, each further intensity spectrum (K2) having an intensity maximum in the region of the intensity minimum of the first intensity spectrum (K1);
• and
• a device (30) for merging the light of the first LED (10) and the light of the at least one further LED (20), said device (30) providing illuminating light with a continuous combined daylight-approximating intensity spectrum (K3) composed of unfiltered light of the first intensity spectrum and unfiltered light of said further intensity spectrum.
