Abstract

A method for correcting colors of a color reproduction of a digital microscope and a digital microscope are described. In a first step of a method according to the invention, a color image of a sample that is to be examined under the microscope is recorded. When the recording is performed, wavelength-dependent properties of a microscope illumination unit that illuminates the sample are determined in order to describe a state of the microscope illumination unit, in that settings selected at the microscope illumination unit are captured. A set of correction values is determined, which is associated with a state of the microscope illumination unit that is selected in accordance with the state of the microscope illumination unit determined when the recording is performed. In a further step, the colors of the recorded color image of the sample are corrected by applying the correction values of the previously determined set.
