Camera | |||
Detector | Cooled 16-bit CCD, 65,535 shades of gray | ||
Resolution | 9.1 megapixels | ||
Lens | Fixed, 25 mm, f/0.95 | ||
Field of view | 22.5 x 18.0 cm (W x D) (image up to 4 mini blots or gels) | ||
Binning modes | 1×1, 2×2, 4×4 (high-resolution/sensitivity settings) | 1×1, 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, 5×5, 6×6, 8×8 (maximum flexibility for adjusting resolution and sensitivity based on needs) | |
Zoom | 1–2x, digital (digital zoom reduces the effective resolution of the zoomed image) | 1–8x (1–2x mechanical + 1–4x digital) (Mechanical zoom maximizes sensitivity by moving the camera closer to the sample stage, reducing focal length) | |

* Membranes must be imaged when wet, using Thermo Scientific Pierce Reversible Protein Stain Kit for Nitrocellulose Membranes or Thermo Scientific Pierce Reversible Protein Stain Kit for PVDF Membranes.
** Applications provide a qualitative visualization of the object or confirmation of the presence of signal. Not recommended for quantitation.
*** Smart Range HDR available in chemiluminescent blot mode only.
