Summary:The invention relates to an illumination system (10) and an illumination method for an opthalmological analysis apparatus, in particular an analysis apparatus for measuring an intraocular pressure in an eye, wherein the analysis apparatus includes an actuation device (11) with which a puff of air for deforming a cornea (14) can be applied to the eye (12) in the direction of an optical axis (15) of the eye, wherein the illumination system includes at least one illumination device (23) with which the cornea of the eye can be illuminated by a slit light in such a way that a sectional image (27) can be generated in an illumination plane coinciding with the optical axis, wherein the illumination device is formed so that an illuminating beam path (28) of the illumination device oriented towards the eye is arranged at an angle alpha relative to the optical axis (15).
