Abstract

A microscope includes a digital imaging device. The digital imaging device comprises a processor which is configured to: obtain a number of digital grayscale images of an object at a number of different spectral sensitivities, each of the digital grayscale images including grayscale information based on a different one of the different spectral sensitivities, obtain a number of weighting factors for each of the digital grayscale images, the weighting factors being allocated to a number of color channels defining a predetermined color space, and synthesize a digital color image of the object from the digital grayscale images in the color space by distributing the grayscale information of each grayscale image over the color channels in accordance with the weighting factors.
