Gel Doc
3-3
Fig. 3-2. Gel Doc acquisition window
The Gel Doc video display window will open in “live” mode, giving you a
live video display of your sample. If no image is visible, make sure the camera
is on, check the cable connections, make sure the f-stop on the camera is not
closed, and make sure that the protective cap is off the camera lens. Also
check to see that the transilluminator is on and working.
The control panel has been arranged from top to bottom to guide you through
the acquisition procedure. There are three basic steps to acquiring an image
using the Gel Doc:
1. Position and focus the gel or other object to be imaged.
2. Acquire the image.
