EC3 Imaging System

Introduction

The EC3 Imaging System is designed specifically for low light and fluorescence imaging and
because of its light-tightness is particularly suitable for chemiluminescent applications. The
special design accommodates a Benchtop Transilluminator on the convenient sliding tray for
easy access. For chemiluminescent applications, the chemi sample tray can be lowered for
sample positioning. Additionally, the darkroom provides users added flexibility due to the
filter wheel and overhead UV.

UVP offers a large selection of cameras with specially designed mounts for securely con­necting the camera to the darkroom.
