If you are still using film, you should consider some benefits of digital imaging for your gels and blots
The choice between digital imaging and using film for gel and blot documentation is generally based on what the lab has done historically and the availability of equipment and reagents within the lab. Depending on the scenario, the use of film for protein and DNA detection is still popular as it has been the gold standard for decades. However, if you are still using film, you should consider some benefits of digital imaging.

Specialised Imaging reports on a technical article, written by researchers from the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia that describes the use of a Kirana ultra high-speed video system to undertake time-resolved imaging of a compressible air disk that forms under a drop impacting on a solid surface.
The capture of a bubble under an impacting drop can have detrimental effects on the uniformity of spray coatings and interfere with precision inkjet-based manufacturing such as are used in the printing of organic displays. When a drop impacts on a solid surface, its rapid deceleration is cushioned by a thin layer of air, which leads to the entrapment of a bubble under its centre. For large impact velocities the lubrication pressure in...
