    Abstract: A method of image capture helps avoid saturation in digital imaging. In one implementation, the method includes capturing a first digital image of a target using an electronic array light sensor, and identifying one or more saturated pixels in the first digital image. The method further includes identifying a region of interest in the first digital image, the region of interest encompassing the one or more identified saturated pixels. The method also includes capturing a second digital image of the target using the electronic array light sensor. The second digital image encompasses only the region of interest, and the second digital image is captured with a shorter exposure time than the first digital image. The first and second digital images may be combined into a high dynamic range image. Systems for digital imaging may be based on complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) or charge coupled device (CCD) sensors.

    Abstract: An imaging system including an illuminator apparatus or an epi-illumination apparatus that has LEDs for illuminations is provided for stain-free gel activation and fluorescent sample visualization. The illuminator apparatus includes a housing, a light source array disposed on at least one side surface of the housing and including at least one plurality of LEDs having each LED individually operable to output light of a predetermined color within a range of wavelengths, and a controller for controlling ranges of operational parameters of the at least one plurality of LEDs. The light emitted from the light source array incidents upon a sample having a gel that includes a product of UV light induced reaction between tryptophan and a haloalkane and the light emitted from the light source array includes ultraviolet (UV) light to excite a fluorescent response of the sample.
