Intensity adjustment can be performed using various methods, including manual adjustments on the microscope or digital adjustments using imaging software. Here are the steps generally involved:
Microscope Adjustment: Using the microscope's light intensity controls to increase or decrease the illumination. Software Adjustment: Using histology software to modify brightness, contrast, and saturation of digital images. Most software provides tools for enhancing image quality by adjusting these parameters. Automated Systems: Advanced imaging systems may have automated features that optimize intensity settings based on the sample type and desired outcome.
