- 2D gels on the scanner surface, ready to be scanned
GE Healthcare Typhoon 9400 scanner
This is the GE Healthcare “Typhoon 9400″ scanner used to scan fluorescent gels. It’s a huge beast but it doesn’t make a lot of noise (well, I don’t want to stay the whole day next to it!). And this unit only has the red and green scanners inside. There is a second (smaller) unit below with only a blue laser source in it! You can see two gels ready to be scanned (the upper door has to be closed before!).

Good scanner, We've one in our office. Very fast and never broken).
And previouse message is the real spam! No spam on Flickr!

About the scanner, you're right, TSam: the Typhoon is a very good one (not to mention the fact they are at the source for CyDyes-based proteomics). The one in our office regularly breaks because the room is rather small, without any window nor any air conditioner and it overheats.
About the spam, I wonder if I have to believe you: the website on your profile sells a product which name is in good place in my "block-list" ...

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called SO EXCITING ZZZZZZ, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
If they can figure out a way to get the patient inside, it should sell. Most people do not care for MRIs and this should lessen the fear.

Does this look like something for scanning the ills of the extra skinny people? Do you think we can find out info about excessive fats in our bodies by using this machine?

He he, Robert! No, this machine can only scan proteins of any living organism (human if you want) prepared in a certain way and detect them. So although it can't contain a whole human body, if you have a sample containing proteins of our body, it can certainly helps finding how we get this excessive fat in our bodies. Try to search for "2D-DIGE fat" on Pubmed with www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/ : 2 studies were already published on this topic with this machine.
