Operating Instructions
White Light Transilluminators offer the researcher cool white light through an evenly
diffused glass surface. The plexiglass and glass combination is permanently sealed
into the unit - double sealed safety fused for durability. Excellent for viewing coomassie
blue stained gels as well as autoradiographs, X-Rays, and microtiter plates. The
TW-26 is designed for use with 8 x 10" film sizes; the TW-43 with 14 x 17" film
sizes.
Operation
Place the Transilluminator on a level work surface. Be sure that adequate air space
exists around the unit. This space allows for proper air circulation through the unit.
Plug the female end of the power cord into the Transilluminator. For 230 volt mod-
els, or those requiring special power-cord connectors, ensure that the proper con-
figuration of male connector or plug has been properly connected to the power cord.
Plug the male end of the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet. The
proper voltage of the Transilluminator is found on the product information label.
Place sample on the filter area. Press the ON/OFF switch to ON. The white lights
should be glowing beneath the filter after a momentary flickering during the start
period. After viewing/ photographing your sample, turn the unit off.
