Acquire the image
The Uvidoc HD6 system has three exposure mode:
• The live mode
• The auto mode
• The
start mode
The exposure modes are gathered in the exposure mode menu:
The Live mode
Live mode allows direct visualization of the image. This mode enables you to adjust the aperture and the focus, and to
position your sample.
Note
: A live image means the image displayed is refreshed every 1/20th of a second. This short exposure time (or frame)
is adequate for a variety of white light samples including protein gels and autoradiography. A live image, however, is not
sufficient for most samples, which are visualized and photographed over a relatively dim UV light source. A feature
called integration compensates the low light situation by allowing the camera to obtain a timed exposure.
Note
: After 2 minutes, the software will automatically stop the live preview.
Note
: The Preview mode is designed to help for sample positioning and focusing. To this extend, the Preview mode is
always with white light EPI illumination.
