Features of the Bio-5000

Bio-5000 allows you to scan electrophoresis gels and transparent films directly in
the machine. It also supports scanning of reflective materials, such as photos and
prints.
"glassless" scanning system built into the lower bay of Microtek's dual media
scanners, allowing the scanner CCD to directly read the emulsion side of the film
during scanning without any interfering pane of glass. This effectively eliminates
problems associated with normal glass transparency scanning like Newton Rings,
resulting in distortion-free images.
Focus allows the scanner to change the focus position on images through the
movement of the CCD, resulting in better image quality for a chosen area of the
scan. Auto Focus is activated by default when the scanner is on but can be
switched off manually before the final scan is carried out. The results of Auto
Focus can be best seen when used with uneven, creased photos and film.
you scan even postage-size images and enlarge them with amazing clarity, with
little loss of detail. The scanner's 0.05 minimum optical density (Dmin) allows it to
capture a wide range of dark tones approximating real-life color and hues.
