Image Edit Screen - 3D View Option - VWR Gel Documentation Imager2 Instruction Manual

The histogram is a graph showing the number of pixels in the image at each different intensity
value found in that image. For a 16-bit image there are a possible 65535 different intensities so
the histogram will graphically display 256 numbers showing the distribution of pixels amongst
those grayscale values. If the graph is bunched up to the left it indicates that not many
grayscale levels have been captured and the red lines on the histogram graph may need to be
adjusted to see bands. If the graph reaches to the far right (65535 grayscales) this indicates that
the image may be saturated.

Image Edit Screen - 3D View Option

The 3D View screen presents the selected image in three-dimensional form, revealing gel thickness, and
with the peaks representing (and being proportional to) the distribution of grey scales recorded by the
camera sensor.
The lower left hand pane of the 3D View version of the screen provides the following controls/functions:

