UVP EC3 Imaging System - Manual (Page 4)

Components
Darkroom Cabinet
The EC3 Imaging System is manufactured of stainless steel con-
struction and fabricated to provide a light-tight chamber. The darkroom
is ready to go with connections to a wall outlet, the camera and cam-
era mount and transilluminator and connection to a computer. As
shown on page 1, components of the darkroom include:
Emission Filter Wheel
The five-position emission filter wheel is designed for viewing many
fluorescent and visible color stains. Rotate the dial to desired filter as
required for your application. The filter wheel is securely mounted into
the darkroom for a clean, protected environment.
Filter Performance
Overhead Light
UV and white light epi-illumination is built into the darkroom. Select
from the white light, 365nm or 254nm UV.
Transilluminator Tray
The tray slides forward and back for easy access to the transillumina-
tor surface. See transilluminator documentation for specific transillu-
minator operating instructions.
NOTE: When using the transilluminator with the darkroom door open,
UV exposure safety precautions, including protective eyewear and cloth-
ing, must be observed to prevent harmful ultraviolet radiation expo-
sure.
Transillumination Controls
The transilluminator and white light plate are controlled by the dark-
room control panel. A timer is included for automatic transilluminator
shutoff.
