Dynamic field correction
The dynamic field function is based on powerful algorithms which corrects for
uneven illumination from the light source. This results in an image with a flat, even
background whilst maintaining GLP compliance.
Once switched on, please follow the on-screen instructions.
2.4
Extended Dynamic Range (EDR)
Some gels contain areas that are too bright or too dark to be successfully captured.
Closing the iris to cut down the light may prevent the viewing of dark or faint bands,
whilst opening it may lead to saturation. EDR solves this problem by automatically
capturing a series of images at different exposure times. The content of each image
is assessed and those areas that are within the dynamic range of the camera are
combined. The result is an image with a large dynamic range (up to 65536 grey
levels) that encompasses all the brightness ranges existing within the sample without
saturation.
