In Vis mode, while viewing the live image or after capturing an image, the Display
Saturation button can be selected to highlight live and captured pixels that are
considered to be saturated. A red false-color is superimposed on the pixels deemed
to be saturated. Adjustment to the saturation can be done by adjusting the Aperture
and/or exposure time for subsequent images. Shorter exposure times reduce the
light exposure/saturation.
1. While viewing the live image display, select the Display Saturation button under
the time keypad.
2. The screen displays the saturated areas of the image with a red false-color.
3. Using the Aperture slider bar in Camera Settings, adjust the saturation by
opening (moving slider to left) or closing (moving slider to right) the aperture.
Opening the aperture increases image brightness and saturation. Closing the
aperture decreases image brightness and saturation.
4. If required, the image exposure time may need to be increased or decreased to
display a properly saturated live image. Exposure time can be adjusted before
image capture by using the number keypad.
5. Select the Display Saturation button again to turn off the false-color imaging.
Note The Display Saturation button is disabled when the Auto Contrast or
Adjust Image functions are enabled.
6. Proceed with the steps for acquiring an image.
The Invert button is a useful tool for viewing faint gel bands. This tool inverts the
standard white background with black highlights to a black background with white
highlights in Vis mode.
