Adjusting the Brightness of a Diascopic Image
The brightness of a diascopic image can be adjusted by changing the lamp voltage or by using ND filters.

Brightness Adjustment
Photomicrography voltage setting: for
improved color reproduction
Changing the lamp voltage for brightness adjustment will
affect the lamp color temperature and alter the color
balance of the image. Increasing the voltage will result in
a bluish tint, while reducing the voltage results in a
reddish tint. If accurate color reproduction is critical, set
the brightness control knob at the
mark and bring
the NCB11 filter in the filter cassette into the optical path
for optimal color reproduction. To adjust the brightness,
use the ND filters.
