application.

The image will not be saved until you select Save or Save As from the File

menu.

Save

Clicking on Save will open a separate image window displaying the captured

image. A Save As dialog box will automatically open displaying the default

ﬁle name for the image, which will include the date, time, and user (if

known). You can then change the ﬁle name and storage directory.

You can also save your image as a TIFF image for export to other applications.

4.5 Image Mode

The Image Mode option buttons change the type and scale of the data, as well

as the behavior of the Chemi Doc when acquiring an image.

Select this mode for ﬂuorescent and chemiluminescent samples. With this

mode selected, the data will be measured in linear intensity units.

White Light

Select this mode for reﬂective and transmissive samples. With this mode

selected, the data will be measured in uncalibrated optical density (uOD)

units.

Chemi

This mode is designed for chemiluminescent samples. With this mode

selected, the data is measured in linear intensity units; however, the data is

inverted, so that samples will appear dark on a light background.
