Image Zooming
Both the GelDoc-It
TS2
with the GelCam 310 camera and the ChiemiDoc-It
TS2
with the BioChemi 510 camera
are equipped with optical zoom lenses, meaning that the system uses the lens optics to make the sample
appear closer on the screen. Optical zoom is adjusted using the Zoom button and slider bar on the main
TS2 screen.
The ChiemiDoc-It
TS2
with the MegaCam 810 camera utilizes a fixed focal length lens, meaning that optical
zoom is not available. However, given the camera’s high megapixel resolution, digital zooming can be used
to move in closer on the image. Digital zoom enlarges a portion of the image, simulating optical zoom. Thus,
the camera crops a portion of the image and enlarges the cropped portion to fill the imaging area on the
screen.
To use the digital zoom functionality on the ChiemiDoc-It
TS2
with the MegaCam 810 camera:
1. Plug the USB mouse into an available USB port on the TS2 Imager. The USB mouse is included
with the TS2 Imager.
2. With a preview or captured image on the screen, use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out on
the image.
3. Click and drag to move around on the zoomed-in image.
Notes regarding digital zoom operation:
•
The TS2’s digital zoom feature utilizes WYSIWYG, or “what you see is what you get,” meaning that
a zoomed preview image will result in a zoomed capture image.
•
A zoomed capture image will print as shown on the screen (WYSIWYG).
•
In addition to using the mouse “click-and-drag” method to move the zoomed-in image, the user can
tap and drag a finger directly on the touch screen to move around on the zoomed-in image.
Note: Digital zoom is available on all TS2 systems, regardless of camera configuration. However, it is only
recommended to use digital zoom with the MegaCam 810 due to the camera’s high megapixel resolution.
