How can I digitalize VisPRO stained gel images? What instruments are needed?
Option 1: We suggest using a flatbed scanner with transparency unit to document the reverse stained gel images. Whiling scanning, turn on the transparency mode and save the image into 8 or 16 bit grayscale TIF file. For optimal image quality, stretching the level of image to maximal (0-255) is suggested before saving the files. Option 2: Gels can also be documented by flatbed scanner without transparency unit. However, a black background should be placed behind the gel while scanning.
