Gamma
slide control to result in a nonlinear contrast enhancement.
CCD chip's pixels is converted into the color value of the respective pixels in the
image buffer. Please note that this also applies for the other slide controls. If
gamma equals 1, the conversion from illumination intensity into gray value i.e.,
color value is linear. A nonlinear contrast enhancement is the result if gamma is
not equal to 1. If gamma is less than 1, the light gray values are spread more
than the dark ones. This results in an improvement of contrast in the image's light
areas. The image, in general, will become darker as a whole. If gamma is more
than 1, the dark gray values are spread more than the light ones. This results in
an improvement of contrast in the image's dark areas. The image, in general, will
become lighter as a whole.
Saturation

vidual color channels. The
reproduction from black and white to a maximum color saturation.
Brightness
slide control to change the image's intensity. Values smaller
than 1 lower the image's intensity. Values greater than 1 increase the image's
intensity.
Contrast
slide control to change the image's contrast. Values smaller
than 1 lower the image's contrast. Values greater than 1 increase the image's
contrast.

enhancement. Now the image will always be shown with enhanced contrast
onscreen no matter what the actual exposure conditions are, provided there is
no over exposure. For this purpose, the system automatically calculates two
sensible limits for displaying the intensity from the intensity distribution in the
image. Intensity values below the minimal value and above the maximum values
will be cut off. The intensity values in between will be spread out on the entire
dynamic range of the camera.
Sharpen filter
Use the sharpen filter to increase the sharpness using edge enhancement
already with the live acquisition.

The manner in which the acquired image is affected by the sharpen filter
depends on the sharpen filter parameter. You can adjust this parameter by using
