Claim 14:
15. A method for a microscope system, the method comprising:
determining a depth characteristic of a sample being illuminated by an illumination module of an illumination system; and
controlling the illumination module based on the depth characteristic of the sample, to provide a spatially modulated illumination of the sample,
wherein the depth characteristic comprises a slope of one or more portions of the sample, and the illumination module is controlled based on the slope of the one or more portions of the sample, or
wherein the depth characteristic comprises a three-dimensional representation of a surface of the sample, and a shading of the illumination caused by the surface of the sample is determined based on the three-dimensional representation of the surface of the sample, and the illumination module is controlled based on the shading of the illumination caused by the surface of the sample.
