A device for a multimodal imaging examination of an object, in particular for a multimodal imaging examination of a living object, includes an object carrier for accommodating at least one object to be examined, an x-ray radiation source for emitting x-ray radiation, a first partial system for generating a first image of the object in a first image recording mode and a second partial system for generating a second image of the object in a second image recording mode. The first partial system has a direct digital x-ray detector which is configured to convert x-ray radiation modified by the object into a digital image of the object. The second partial system has a camera system which is configured to convert radiation in the visible wavelength range or UV wavelength range emanating from an object into a digital image of the object.
