Imagers can accommodate UVP’s Benchtop and FirstLight
transilluminator models. UVP offers a variety of transilluminator configurations, including Benchtop
models with multiple wavelengths and variable intensities as well as the highly uniform, patented
FirstLight
®
transilluminator. Refer to the packing slip for the transilluminator included with your system.
Note: For UV protection and to extend the life of the UV transilluminator, the system incorporates a ten-
minute transilluminator shutoff timer. The timer shuts off the transilluminator after ten minutes of
operation. A push button on the front of the darkroom allows the user to reset the timer. Alternately, the
timer can also be reset by opening and closing the darkroom door.
Fluorescent Focus Target
The UVP Fluorescent Focus Target fluoresces when placed
on a UV transilluminator or when exposed to overhead UV.
The Target provides sharp fluorescent images to aid in
adjusting the lens and camera settings for ideal imaging
results.
Optional Equipment
UVP offers a variety of optional equipment to support the needs of varying laboratory environments. Refer to
“Replacement Parts and Accessories” at the end of this manual for optional equipment part numbers.
Thermal Printer
The thermal printer provides archive quality, 256 grayscale
prints and five optional cost-effective print sizes.
UV Handheld Lamps for Overhead Lighting
Two 4-watt ultraviolet lamps can be connected inside the
darkroom to provide epi UV illumination. These lamps can be
switched on or off using the switch on the front of the
darkroom and can also be removed from the darkroom and
used as standalone handheld lamps (as seen in the image to
the right).
