Capturing the first image using the UVP focusing target
Note: The UVP focusing target is a tool that resembles a gel and is used to practice fluorescent
image capture techniques. If the UVP focusing target cannot be located, use a business card or
other similar object.
1. Place the UVP focusing target or similar object on the surface where the sample will be
imaged.
2. Open the Acquisition Action Tab and click on the Preview button. Using the image
preview on the computer screen, properly position the target. Once the target has been
positioned, close the darkroom door.
3. Turn on the white light epi illumination. The camera will adjust the aperture and/or focus
automatically. However, additional settings can be accessed through the Camera Menu,
shown below:
4. When the image is positioned and ready for capture, click on the Capture button in the
Acquisition Action Tab.
Note: There are numerous additional techniques for improving the quality of the captured image.
See the Help Files in the software for additional instructions on the use and function of these
features.
