Filters - VWR Gel Documentation Imager2 Instruction Manual

Filters

The Imager2 Instrument is provided with a motor driven rotating Filter Holder. This is located in the top of
the Instrument, such that the filter lenses are positioned directly below the front element of the imaging lens.
Positions are available for up to seven circular filters to be installed. These are numbered 1 - 7 so that filter
locations can be identified within the Gel Doc iamge capture software. Access to the Filter Holder is gained
by removing the Lens and Camera Units.
If Filters have been pre-ordered then these will normally be installed at the factory prior to shipping. If these
have been purchased at a later date or have been loose-shipped, install them as follows:
1. Remove the Hood.
