Setting Up a Default Protocol
User Guide | 75
 If you choose Faint Bands, exposure time is longer, making faint bands
more visible. More prominent bands might be overexposed.
 Select manual exposure to override automated imaging. Exposure time
can range from 0.001 to 10 sec.
After a gel is imaged with automatic exposure optimization, the previous
exposure time displays in the protocol as a guide so you can manually adjust
the exposure time if necessary.
You can also view the exposure time of the image later, in the Image Info
window (see Image Info on page 96 for more information).
3. Set the Display Options
Highlight saturated pixels — select the Highlight saturated pixels checkbox to
see any saturated pixels in red, which shows how much of the gel image is
saturated. Saturated pixels are beyond the maximum quantifiable range of the
imaging system. This option can be changed later by selecting View > Image
Transform.
Image Color — select color choice to display the sample image. Viewing the
image with a different color scheme can make it easier to see all of the
elements. See Image Colors on page 94 for the color choices.
