Abstract: A device for filming a dimly illuminated object, especially the eye, comprises a source of light for illuminating the object/eye, a light amplifier for amplifying the light reflected from the object/eye, and filming picture recording equipment. The source of light is a source of white light with a low intensity of the emitted light. The device comprises elements for separating at least two of the three primary colors from the reelected light, a light amplifier for amplifying the light for each separated primary color, and filming picture recording equipment for recording the amplified light for each separated primary color. A method for filming the object/eye can be carried out by means of the device.
