I am looking for the best way to capture an image of my zinc stained SDS-PAGE gel. I have tried imaging it on a black background using the lab digital camera over a light box but the results were a little disappointing - a little fuzzy and problems with light leakage. Do I need to use a densitometer for this? I'm a little confused how this would work since this is a negative stain so the gel is semi-opaque with clear areas where the proteins are located. Any help appreciated!
