Adjusting the White Balance

The white balance ensures that the specimen is shown in neutral colors. We recommend carrying out a new white balance adjustment whenever you change the illumina- tion type or color temperature. This is particu- larly necessary if you are working with halogen light that can be switched from yellow (low

intensity) to blue (high intensity).

You can carry out the white balance using the camera's own menu or via the

camera trigger.

The white balance of the camera is factory set to automatically provide opti- mum results when used in conjunction with a

Leica LED illuminator.
