Capture an image
This chapter describes the steps to acquire an image.
Fluorescence image acquisition
Fluorescence is the main method used for gene expression and protein detection. It results from a process that occurs in
molecules known as fluorophores. The fluorophore absorbs the excitation light, reaching a higher energy state. By
returning to its former state, it emits fluorescent light.
The Uvidoc HD6 system separates the emitted light from the excitation light in order to obtain an optimum sample
image. According to the configuration, the Uvidoc HD6 can accommodate several excitation and emission channels in
the visible, and UV area and is ideal for a large array of applications such as 1D DNA gel, 1D protein colorimetric samples,
multiplexing, stain free gel and blot.
Image capture workflow
The basic steps to acquire an image are:
•
CHOOSE THE APPLICATION TYPE
•
ACQUIRE THE IMAGE
•
SAVE OR PRINT THE IMAGE
