 Nikon MicroscopyU: Color Balance in Digital Imaging
The role of white balance adjustment in obtaining the desired image is of particular importance, and this control function can be employed to either capture the most faithful rendition of a specimen, or an intentionally modified representation of the specimen aimed at correcting unwanted color casts generated by preparation artifacts.
In transmitted illumination, an appropriate region (usually white or a neutral gray) is chosen from the specimen field or the adjustment is performed on the illuminated field alone, with the specimen removed from the light path.
In order to allow the white balance circuitry to evaluate the illumination at a brightness level similar to that existing with the specimen (and at approximately correct exposure settings), a neutral density filter may be inserted into the light path during the white balance adjustment, and then replaced with the specimen for actual imaging.

 White Animals at White Sands
Second, several of the species that are lighter than usual at White Sands are darker than usual (or have closely related species that are darker than usual) at the Valley of Fires lava flow at the north end of the Tularosa Basin (Table 1).
Because these lizards are able to change color over the short term, it is theoretically possible that individual white lizards at white sands have changed color to match their current white habitat as chameleons and anoles do, rather than having a light color that is reasonably fixed.
These results suggest that the lighter-colored lizards within the dunes are white because they have genes that code for fixed light color and that, unlike chameleons and anoles, they do not change color to match their current background (Table 2).
