1. An illumination system for a microscope system, the illumination system comprising:
an illumination module for providing a spatially modulated illumination of a sample; and
one or more processors configured to:
determine a depth characteristic of the sample, and
control the illumination module based on the depth characteristic of the sample,
wherein the depth characteristic comprises a slope of one or more portions of the sample, and the one or more processors is configured to control the illumination module 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 the one or more processors are configured to determine a shading of the illumination caused by the surface of the sample based on the three-dimensional representation of the surface of the sample, and to control the illumination module based on the shading of the illumination caused by the surface of the sample.
