Abstract

The object in an automatic microscope and a method for true-color image reproduction in automatic microscopes is to provide a monitor image which corresponds to the optical impression of an eyepiece image with respect to color and contrast. According to the invention, the spectral distribution of a light source which can be controlled with respect to brightness and/or color temperature is determined upon initial startup, and the intensity of spectral components is associated with control parameters for the light source. Measurements of the spectral distribution of the light source when operating the microscope and of the ratio of the intensity of spectral components to the control parameters which is determined upon initial startup are used for the regulated control of the light source. Further, the spectral distribution of the monitor image is determined upon initial startup, and the measured spectral distributions of the light source and of the monitor image are compared with the spectral distributions of the light source and of the monitor image determined upon initial startup. Spectral deviations determined in the distributions are compensated by adapting the spectral distribution of the monitor image to the spectral distribution of the light source.
