System Components
CCD Camera and Lenses
The ChemiDoc MP imager’s camera is placed on top of a lighttight enclosure (the
universal hood) for capturing images. The camera comes with a motorized zoom
lens (MZL) that allows remote adjustment of the lens control functions (zoom, focus,
and iris).
A patent-pending software algorithm controls the MZL, giving the user automatic
image focus once an initial calibration is performed during system installation. See
the ChemiDoc MP Technical Specifications on page 23 for complete specifications
of the system.
A +1 diopter lens is factory installed to allow the entire sample stage to be visible.
This lens should always r
emain on the MZL assembly.
