Light microscopy, although known for more then 300 years by now, is still one of the most versatile tools for observation of living biological samples and their analysis. Nowadays illumination in most microscopes is done by laser-radiation and it's inherent gaussian profile. On this poster we present recent developments in microscope illumination using flat-top shaped laser-beams paving the way towards highly uniform illumination used in single-molecule tracking or as a prerequisite in advanced analysis methods. The beam shaping can be achieved by microstructured phaseplates or by special optical components. We will elaborate on the usability of these all-optics approaches to beam-shaping in widefield and confocal microscope configurations.
