Image Zooming
Both the GelDoc-It
TS2
with the GelCam 310 camera and the ChiemiDoc-It
TS2
with the BioChemi 510 camera
are equipped with optical zoom lenses, meaning that the system uses the lens’ optics to make the sample
appear closer/larger on the screen. Optical zoom is adjusted using the vertical slider in the Zoom menu on
the TS2 Software screen.
The ChemiDoc-It
TS2
with the MegaCam 810 camera utilizes a fixed focal length lens, meaning that optical
zoom is not available. However, given the camera’s high megapixel resolution, digital zooming can be used
to move in closer on the image. Digital zoom enlarges a portion of the image, simulating optical zoom. Thus,
the camera crops a portion of the image and enlarges the cropped portion to fill the imaging area on the
screen.
To use digital zoom functionality:
1. With a preview or captured image on the screen, use the “+” and “–” buttons located on the right
side of the image.
2. Tap and drag to move around on the zoomed-in image.
Notes regarding digital zoom operation:
•
The software’s digital zoom feature utilizes WYSIWYG, or “what you see is what you get,” meaning
that a zoomed preview image will result in a zoomed capture image.
•
A zoomed capture image will save and print as shown on the screen (WYSIWYG).
Note: Digital zoom is available on all TS2 systems, regardless of camera configuration. However, it is only
recommended to use digital zoom with the MegaCam 810 due to the camera’s high megapixel resolution.
Refer to the Zoom section of Touch Screen Interface in this manual for further information.
