Abstract

See full text

A magnified image is improved by integrating the wavelength specific component into that image. A magnified images obtained, and at least one wavelength specific component images also obtained. The different images are converted in color space, and different channels, indicative of the different parts of the image shows, are also obtained. For example, the image may be converted to an L*a*b* color space, and the luminance channel of the wavelength specific component may be used to enhance or replace the luminance channel of the magnified image.
