Installing emission filters
To install the 50 mm
2
ethidium bromide (EtBr) filter and any other emission filters:
1.
Carefully remove the filter from the protective plastic case, holding the filter at the edges
to prevent placing fingerprints on the glass surface.
IMPORTANT
It may be necessary to remove the base and camera as-
sembly to insert new filters (photograph shows camera
and base removed).
2.
The filter wheel is located inside the top of the dark-
room. Before placing the filter in the filter wheel, en-
sure that the text on the edge of the filter is posi-
tioned so it is right side up when facing the installer.
3.
Place the filter in the filter wheel.
4.
Write the name of the filter on the appropriate label at
the front of the darkroom.
Additional and replacement emission filters are available through UVP. Refer to the
“Replacement Parts and Accessories” section of this manual for ordering information.
