2-6-1-4 Correcting DIC Level Irregularities
DIC level irregularities refers to uneven brightness of the image background which may
be observed when a transmitted image is acquired in IDC observation.
The DIC level irregularities can be corrected to make the image easier to view.
If fluorescence observation is used, note that the correction is possible only with the
transmitted images.
1. Display the [Filters] sub-panel in the [Process] panel.

The correction factor can be set between 0 and 1 in steps of 0.1.
