  • Visualization system having an illumination apparatus
    Patent number: 10682186
    Abstract: A visualization system includes an image capturing apparatus configured to observe an object region having an object plane, an illumination apparatus that is mechanically decoupled from the image capturing apparatus, having an actuator for controlling at least one property of the illumination apparatus, a control unit connected to the actuator, and a pose capturing unit connected to the control unit.
