Optical zoom:

Both the GelDoc-It TS3 with the GelCam 315
camera and the ChiemiDoc-It
TS3
with the
BioChemi 515 camera are equipped with optical
zoom lenses, meaning that the system uses the
lens’ optics to make the sample appear
closer/larger on the screen. Optical zoom is
adjusted using the vertical slider in the
Zoom
menu on the software screen.
Digital zoom:

The ChemiDoc-It
TS3
with the MegaCam 815
camera utilizes a fixed focal length lens, meaning
that optical zoom is not available. However, given
the camera’s high megapixel resolution, digital
zooming can be used to move in closer on the
image. Digital zoom enlarges a portion of the
image, simulating optical zoom. Thus, the camera
crops a portion of the image and enlarges the
cropped portion to fill the imaging area on the
screen.

Capture Modes, Addditional:

Sequential
– Constant Time:
Select the number of
frames to be captured as well as the total image
capture time, and the software will automatically
capture the desired number of frames with evenly
divided exposure times.

Sequential

images with user-selectable exposure times per
image. For example, capture one image at 300ms
exposure, immediately followed by another image
captured at 200ms exposure, and so forth.



multiple images at a desired exposure time and
continually “stacks” the images, compensating for
