Assuming you have Photoshop (an old version will do).

First check that your image is 16 bits per channel. If not, change it in Image Mode.

Invert.

Go to Curves. Under Options, enable "Snap Neutral Midtones". Click OK. This will probably give a rather pale image with nearly correct colours.

Go to Levels. Use the middle slider to darken the image if necessary. Then you can adjust the colour balance to taste by using the middle slider for red, green or blue separately. Very likely a slight touch of red is all you need.
