Recommended Camera Settings
The standard setting installed for 3200 K ( 3200 K button on the Adjust
property page) often offers the camera the most natural reproduction of the
image situation on the microscope. Here the image background is
reproduced as it appears on the microscope. This setting is also useful in
acquisition situations where no neutral-tint area is available to carry out a
balance manually.
If the image background in the acquired image is to be displayed with a
neutral tint (gray or white), a manual white balance is required. Click on the
Automatic button in the White Balance field.
If the lamp voltage selected on the microscope is too low, the color of the
image background may have been shifted a long way into the red. If a
white balance is carried out in this event, the result may be visible
deviations in the display of the color of the current sample. Correct this
situation by increasing the lamp voltage to achieve a more neutral
background, and insert gray filters into the microscope’s illumination beam
path to adjust the intensity.
The values calculated using the automatic white balance function can be
optimized further with the help of manual settings.
