Publication number: 20230267698Abstract: An imaging system, medical microscope, surgical light, robotic system, imaging method, and computer-readable storage medium. The imaging system creates an optimized image of a region to be imaged and includes an irradiation system. The irradiation system has at least a first and a second individually adjustable radiation emitter for individual irradiation of the region to be imaged. A camera system includes at least one camera that creates an image of the region to be imaged. An image analysis unit is adapted to analyze the image and digitally provide an analysis result. A control unit is adapted to control the irradiation system based on the analysis result and change an irradiation of the first and/or second radiation emitter in an intensity of the radiation and/or in a wavelength of the radiation to achieve an optimized irradiation for the image.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2023Publication date: August 24, 2023Inventors: Tim Beyl, Robert Jakob
