Acquire Image
Before you can use Quantity One to analyze a biological image, you need to
capture the image into your computer. This may be done with one of the
several Bio-Rad instruments supported by this software: the Molecular
Imager FX and Personal Molecular Imager FX; the GS-700 and GS-710
Imaging Densitometers; the Gel Doc 1000/2000 and Chemi Doc gel
documentation systems; and the Fluor-S and Fluor-S MAX MultiImagers.
The resulting images are stored in files on your hard disk, network file server,
or removable storage media.
Optimize Image
Once you have acquired an image of your sample, you may need to reduce
any noise or background density caused by film fogging or the opacity of
your carrier medium. A variety of functions exist to minimize background
noise while maintaining data integrity.
