> Dear List,

> We would like to know if anyone has tried using a digital camera for
> capturing gel images. We have been using a flatbed scanner equipped to
> handle transparent images (transmissive light rather than merely
> reflective light) but not all the images captured with the scanner have
> been of the quality we would like. Specifically, we see spots in our gels
> that the scanner does not always record. If you are using a digital
> camera, we would like answers to the following questions:
>
> Which model?
> If you switched from a scanner, why did you switch? How much improvement
> in image quality do you see?
> What stain are you using? (We've been using colloidal Coomassie blue.)
> What format are using for the captured image? (We've been recording
> images as .tif files from the scanner.)
> Do you import the captured image into a gel analysis program such as
> Melanie or Imagemaster? Any problems with file formats?
>
> Any other comments which come to mind on this issue are welcome.

> Sincerely,
