Scanning a Gel
MiBio Fluo is a scanning software designed by Microtek for gel scanning. Its
simple and user-friendly interface enables you to easily start the scanning process
and finish all the scan jobs.
1. Follow the procedures for “Positioning a Gel” to place the gel to be scanned
on the scanner glass surface.
2. Launch MiBio Fluo by clicking the program icon on the desktop of the
computer.
3. Click the Image Capture button on the control panel to start scanning.
When done, the scanned images will be automatically saved into the folder
defined in Settings window. At the same time, the scanned images will be
displayed in thumbnail sizes in the Thumbnail View area and labeled with the
file name, grouped by a date, time and number.
Click the image in the Thumbnail View area and then it will be enlarged and
displayed in the Preview area.
Refer to the section “Knowing the MiBio Fluo Software Better” in this manual
for the details about how to change a folder or a name for a scanned image
in the Settings window.
4. If necessary, drag the bar of Exposure Time to adjust the exposure time for
a scanned gel, moving it to the left to decrease the exposure time and to
the right to increase on the contrary. Or, you can also click the Plus (+) or
Minus (-) button next to the bar to increase or decrease the exposure time.
When done, click the Image Capture button again. A new thumbnail-size
image will be displayed in the Thumbnail View area.
5. If you have to delete one piece of image in the Thumbnail View area, use
the mouse to select the image you want to delete and then click the Delete
button on the keyboard. To delete several images at one time, click and hold
on the Ctrl button on the keyboard; then, use the mouse to select images
you want to delete one by one and finally click the Delete button on the
keyboard.
