# Using the Leica Microscope at BWRC

Open the "LAS V4.4" software.
If this window pops up, click "OK".
This is the main UI of the software.

To do white balance calibration, put a white paper under the scope, and press this button on the software.
## 3. Operating the Microscope
There are two knobs on the scope. The black one controls the focus length, and the white one controls the zoom.
