Starting the instrument and Typhoon Scanner Control software

Principle
Storage phosphor screen scanning
Performing Storage phosphor screen autoradiography is a two step procedure, first the
Storage phosphor screen is exposed to the sample inside an Exposure cassette and,
secondly, the Storage phosphor screen is scanned in the instrument. For information of
available Storage phosphor screens and Exposure cassettes, see Appendix A.
Fluorescent and chemiluminescent scanning
When scanning a fluorescent or a chemiluminescent sample, the sample is placed
inside the instrument and is scanned directly.
For fluorescent scanning there are a standard set of emission filters available, see
Appendix A.3. For fluorescent and chemiluminescent scanning beam splitters are
available, see Appendix A.4.
