Molecular Imager FX
11-3
Fig. 11-2. FX acquisition window
The default scanning window is marked by grid lines that divide the area into
quadrants. There is also an outer box and inner box marked by thicker lines.
This conforms to the sample pad for the standard Bio-Rad Exposure Cassette
that is supplied with the FX. The quadrants are numbered 1–16 left to right
and lettered A–U top to bottom.
If you prefer a scanning window measured in centimeters, deselect the
Quadrant Mode checkbox in the control panel by clicking on it. To hide the
gridlines, click on the Hide Grid checkbox under Options.
The control panel has been arranged from top to bottom to guide you through
the acquisition procedure. There are four basic steps to scanning an image
using the FX:
1. Select the application.
