Installing the Filter
Systems include a 50mm sq EtBr filter. The filter is pre-installed in the VisiDoc-It hood at the UVP factory.
To install the 50mm sq Ethidium Bromide (EtBr) filter in the BioDoc-It:
Carefully remove the filter from the protective
plastic case, holding the filter at the edges to
prevent fingerprints.
The filter tray is located under the camera bracket
on the right side top of the darkroom. Slide the
tray open.
Place the filter inside the filter tray so that the text
on the edge of the filter is positioned so the letters
are right side up when facing you.
Additional filters are available. Refer to Accessories for ordering information.
