Description

• Systems are designed to be easily upgraded to include a cooled CCD camera for low-light samples
• Files can be archived in several formats to preserve data integrity for downstream analysis
• Workstations can be networked to make files more accessible
• Manual zoom lens allows adjustments to be made by rotating the on-lens aperature, zoom, and focus rings
• All systems are PC-compatible

FOTO/FX Benchtop Darkroom

• Light-tight enclosure houses a CCD camera with zoom lens and filters
• Flat black interior minimizes stray light
• Gliding transilluminator platform and side-opening door with interlock provide convenient, safe operation of large-format transilluminators
• Two interior visible epi-light panels allow easy focusing and even illumination of opaque samples
• Dual UV epi-lights can be used to optimize sensitivity of samples stained with fluorescent dyes
• Camera mounting system allows for easy upgrading to other cameras
• Motorized filter wheel permits filters to be selected through computer software or the darkroom touchpad

FOTO/Flex Transillumators

• Choose single-wavelength UV; single-wavelength UV, dual-light (UV plus white light); dual-wavelength UV; or dual-wavelength UV, dual-light models
• UV transilluminators have 25 × 28cm UV glass; four 8 watt, 312nm (peak emission) bulbs; UV transparent protective cover; and preparative and analytical intensity settings
• White-light transilluminators have a proprietary electroluminescent (EL) visible light panel that offers 15 times more uniform light illumination than traditional bulb-style transilluminators and continuously adjustable intensity control

Image Acquisition Software

• Integration to 8.3 min. in 1/30 sec. increments
• Live preview
• Brightness and contrast
• Image manipulation: invert, zoom, mirror, rotate, annotate (date, time, text, circle, arrow)
• Image storage in choice of TIF, JPG, BMP, and PNG formats
