Color Image Quality Control in Microscopy

In
In this webinar, you will learn about color reproduction in microscopy images—and how to fix it if your color reproduction goes awry.

The main points we will cover are:

The reasons that could color reproduction go wrong in your microscopy images
How to correct your microscopy images with inappropriate color reproduction
How to be ethical with the color in your microscopy images
Advice on Color in Microscopy Images
Mark Clymer, an expert in microscopy imaging, will guide you through the complicated area of color reproduction in microscopy. He will offer advice and tips on how to get the most from your microscopy camera.

Color imaging is everywhere today and is often taken for granted. Images are instantly captured on cell phones, tablets, web cams, and microscopes. Pictures are shared with friends and colleagues even faster. We thrive on instant gratification. For some of us, our images are simply a snapshot in time—a selfie in front of a landmark, an amazing meal presentation, a pic showing viable cells in culture. But for others, images need to be masterpieces, expressing not just artistry but scientific discovery.

Regardless of your philosophy, we are at the mercy of the technology: cameras AND software. So as scientists, how do we ensure that we capture and communicate images that are worthy of our research? In this webinar, you’ll learn about how color in images goes awry, and what you can do about it. And there’s a twist at the end about an often overlooked villain in this whole scheme.
