EpiChemi II Darkroom
Introduction
The EpiChemi II (EC2) Darkroom 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. Camera specifications are not discussed in this manual.
Contact UVP or see other documentation included with your system for camera operating
and set-up instructions. Transilluminators are ordered separately and also include their own
documentation.
