These amber covers, which rest above the viewing surface and gel, filter out the blue light, allowing the fluorescing DNA bands to be seen clearly.  The covers can be set to a flat position for general gel viewing or can be set at an angle to provide easy access to the gel for band excision.  The E4000 has a two-position filter cover, and the E4101 features a hinged filter cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUI technology, bright and clear images: \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe bright LED light plates and filter layer provides an extremely evenly lit viewing surface. Even in ambient light, bands of DNA can clearly be seen in stained gels.

Unlike those in a UV transilluminator, the filters in the SmartBlue systems will not solarize and degrade in performance over time. Gel bands can be excised directly on the scratch resistant, glass viewing surfaces. To save energy, the power switch includes an automatic 5 minute shutoff. SmartBlue Transilluminators are covered by a 2 year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SmartBlue products use high intensity LED lights.  Although the visible blue wavelength is significantly safer than UV light, it is recommended to not stare directly at the viewing surface without the amber cover in place.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"458\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"211\"\u003eLight Source:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"247\"\u003eHigh Intensity Blue LEDs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"211\"\u003eEmission Filter Cover:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"247\"\u003eAmber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"211\"\u003eWavelength:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"247\"\u003ePeak at 465 nm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"211\"\u003eE4000 Viewing Surface:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"247\"\u003e17 x 12 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"211\"\u003eE4000 Ext.
