Using the Light Source
1. Set the power switch on the front of the system to the ON (I) position.
2. Rotate the black rotary knob on the front of the BioLite to adjust light intensity as desired. The
intensity control knob controls the amount of illumination in six relative amounts as specified in the
chart below:
Intensity Setting Relative Intensity
6 100%
5 50%
4 40%
3 25%
2 12%
1 0%
NOTE: Use the black rubber cap to cover the end of the fiber optic cable if using the darkroom to perform
light-tight experiments such as capturing a chemiluminescence sample for more than two minutes. Exposing
an image for less than two minutes with the rubber cap removed will not impact the resultant image, so long
as the fiber optic cable is installed on the BioLite. Without capping the fiber optic cable, light may enter the
darkroom through the end of the fiber optic cable, thus affecting the results of an extended resolution image.
