The LED lights can be dimmed or turned off by rotating the grey LED light control wheel near the top of the microscope body. Note that the auto white balance feature of the microscope's controller will try to compensate for low lighting levels.

Highly reflective objects can cause glare issues. If you are having problems with glare, try viewing your intended object at an angle. If that still doesn't help, turning off the built-in LEDs and using an external light source at a 45° angle to the microscope usually helps. This is especially helpful for cylindrical objects, many more details can be revealed by modifying the lighting angle.
