Fig. A-2. Gel Doc acquisition window
The Gel Doc video display window will open in “live” mode, giving you a live video
display of your sample. If no image is visible, make sure the camera is on, check the
cable connections, make sure the iris on the camera is not closed, and make sure that
the protective cap is off the camera lens. Also check to see that the transilluminator is
on and working.
The control panel has been arranged from top to bottom to guide you through the
acquisition procedure. There are six basic steps to acquiring an image using the Gel
Doc:
1. Position and focus the gel or other object to be imaged.
2. Select Mode.
3. Acquire the image.
