VisionWorksLS is a sophisticated image capture and analysis
software package with comprehensive tools to facilitate the capture
of chemiluminescent, fluorescent or colorimetric stained gels, blots,
colonies and membranes. Capabilities include:
Extensive image acquisition functions
Image enhancement capabilities
1D and area density analysis plus colony counting
One-touch automated macros
User-defined templates and preference settings
Support for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance
Report generation and export of data to Excel
VisionWorksLS software offers many image enhancement features, process filters and
annotation capabilities as non-destructive tools for visualization and publication.
Annotation can be added in the form of text,
lines, highlights and more
Filter tools include align, rotate, emboss,
sharpen, resize, starfield subtraction and
background correction
Spatial calibration determines image scale
and measure lengths, angles and areas
Annotation. Overlay non-destructive
annotation or “burn” the annotation into
an image for permanent documentation.
Camera Control and Image
Capture. Camera menu guides
the user through the easy-to-
use image acquisition steps.
Software Control. User-friendly, one-touch simplicity for
automating image capture and analysis!
UVP’s cameras are selected for their high resolution and sensitivity for image capture as well as
for the ability to control the capture settings. The integrated software menu allows selection of
functions to achieve superior captured images.
Integration functions include on-chip integration for the simplest image capture. Sequential
integration captures multiple pictures taken at a uniformly increasing exposure time.
Dynamic integration captures images at set intervals.
Binning allows a quick preview of the image before continuing with a longer full resolution
exposure.
Saturation preview assures imaging results are quantifiable by detecting over-exposure of
bands in live preview.
Imaging templates allow for creation of custom settings to enable quick image capture with
reproducible results.
AutoExpose enables the perfect image exposure to be captured automatically below the
saturation level of every pixel in the image for the widest dynamic range
possible and the best quantitative analysis of bands.

Featured Applications
Feature Benefit
Scientific Grade Cameras
Choice of CCD cameras for high resolution, high quality images. Select a camera
based on the imaging applications (refer to the camera list on page 2).
Motorized Lenses Automated control of lens for quick image acquisition and rapid processing.
Motorized Platform
Height adjustable platform moves to any position in a 10 inch range for
optimized image capture. Platform is easily controlled via the software interface.
LED White Light Illuminator Extremely high uniformity for minimal image enhancement.
Viewing Window View the sample through the UV safe window without opening the darkroom door.
Light Tight Darkroom Creates optimum conditions for imaging gels and blots.
Chemi Tray Place and capture bioluminescent or chemiluminescent samples.
Epi Illumination Sources Built in illumination sources for positioning and exciting samples from above.
Access Ports
Connect numerous external sources to enhance imaging techniques
and acquisition.
Motorized Filter Wheel
Simplify imaging by controlling the filter wheel through a software button.
Programmable filter wheel enables automatic selection of the appropriate filter for
a specific application.
Multiplex Imaging
VisionWorksLS permits multiplexing so that several proteins in a sample can be detected and analyzed at the
same time on a single protein blot. NIR labels, in particular, offer very low background and high signal-to-noise
ratio for quantitative imaging. The combination of the BioLite MultiSpectral Light Source and BioSpectrum
Imaging System provides a full range of wavelengths for excitation light and offers rapid, high resolution image
capture through the use of cooled CCD cameras and low light lenses. Typically, exposures are complete in
30 seconds to 2 minutes. Images are captured and processed with VisionWorks LS image acquisition and
analysis software to composite the pseudocolored images.
Chemiluminescent imaging of protein blots using the BioSpectrum greatly speeds up
and simplifies analysis. Once positioned on the imaging platform, the membrane is
focused, door closed and the image captured with a one button preset in the
VisionWorksLS software. Multiple captures are easily taken to acquire a full range of
exposures using the Sequential Integration feature. Chemiluminescent imaging of
protein blotting and the sensitivity of this procedure compares to film showing the
BioSpectrum with cooled CCD camera to be superior to film in sensitivity, accuracy,
dynamic range, speed, and simplicity. Due to the high sensitivity and resolution of the
BioSpectrum system, the resultant image is both quantitative and publication quality.
Chemiluminescent Imaging
Chemiluminescent blots comparing film to
CCD capture shows the BioSpectrum 500 is
more sensitive than film.
