General Notes
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).
Configure the white balance via the user
menu using the remote control. Depend-
ing on the configuration, automatic white
balance can also be carried out using the foot-
switch.
The white balance of the camera is
factory set to automatically provide opti-
mum results when used in conjunction with a
Leica LED illuminator.
