The UV-cabin in our lab seems to be broken. Is a digital consumer cam able to take pictures from EtBr-gels placed on a transiluminator, without "going up into flames"? Is a filter needed to protect the sensor?
Thanks
Thanks for your answer....I'll give it a try....I found a good manual,
if anybody else is interested:

Nevertheless, an additional filter is requested within this article.
