Introduction
The EpiChemi II (EC2) Darkroom is designed specifically for low light and fluorescence im-
aging and because of its light-tightness is particularly suitable for chemiluminescent applica-
tions. The special design accommodates a Benchtop Transilluminator on the convenient sliding
tray for easy access. For chemiluminescent applications, the chemi sample tray can be low-
ered for sample positioning. Additionally, the darkroom provides users added flexibility due
to the filter wheel and overhead UV.
UVP offers a large selection of cameras with specially designed mounts for securely con-
necting the camera to the darkroom. Camera specifications are not discussed in this manual.
Contact UVP or see other documentation included with your system for camera operating
and set-up instructions. Transilluminators are ordered separately and also include their own
documentation.
