| A standard 200 Mhz Pentium-pro PC running linux is used to both control the microdensitometer and perform all the on-line data analysis. |
| All operations of the microdensitometer are controlled by a dedicated PC, network-connected for the transfer of data for later analysis. |
| After fixation of the gel, quantification is performed by a high-resolution integrating microdensitometer. |
| Vickers Instruments no longer supports their M85 microdensitometer, and spare parts for it are unobtainable. |
| If a film is sensitive to mechanical stress, the microdensitometer can also be used to yield mechanical stress distribution that has been applied to the film. |
| Modulation values are corrected for the MTF of the microdensitometer for reflection test patterns. |
