1. A method for providing an image representation with a surgical microscope, the method comprising:
capturing a color image representation of a capture region with a camera;
capturing a fluorescence image representation of the capture region with a fluorescence camera;
generating a detailed image from the color image representation with a spatial filter and an edge stop function;
mixing the color image representation, the fluorescence image representation, and the detailed image to form a mixed image representation; and
providing an image signal which encodes the mixed image representation.
