Abstract:
A color adjusting method for use in an image processing unit which measures luminance data of fluorescence of an observed specimen with a laser scanning microscope and outputs an observed image to an output unit based on the luminance data, said method comprising the steps of:outputting to said output unit a color chart where hue and saturation are changed variously with lightness kept constant;specifying on said color chart a display color which corresponds to a specific wavelength of fluorescence in visual observation and storing the hue and saturation corresponding to the display color as color conversion parameters; andcorrecting a color tone of the displayed color with the specific wavelength of fluorescence among the luminance data of fluorescence of the observed specimen measured with said laser scanning microscope, and outputting a resulting observed image to said output unit.
