Section 5 Research Instruments Ltd RI Viewer ™ How to Take a Picture 1. Click on the tool bar. 2. A camera icon will flash briefly in the centre of the screen to let the user know that an image has been taken. - Page 21 Section 6 Research Instruments Ltd Saturn Laser Systems Operation ™ SATURN™ LASER SYSTEMS OPERATION How to Configure the Laser for a New Procedure 1. Check objective calibration. 2. Check laser target alignment. 3. Check hole size calibration. How to Check Objective Calibration 1.
- Page 22 Section 6 Research Instruments Ltd Saturn Laser Systems Operation ™ How to Check Hole Size Calibration The laser objective must be calibrated correctly for the Hole Size Indicator to work correctly. The actual size of hole a laser produces may vary depending on the type of Petri dish and media, the characteristics of the embryo and other factors.
- Page 23 Section 6 Research Instruments Ltd Saturn Laser Systems Operation ™ How to Fire the Laser (Single Pulse) 1. Find the sample under the microscope using an objective with wide field of view (e.g. 4x objective). 2. Hold the sample with a holding pipette at the bottom of the dish.
- Page 24 Section 6 Research Instruments Ltd Saturn Laser Systems Operation ™ Preset Pulse Lengths The preset values can be changed using RI Viewer™. Pulse lengths are limited to stay within Class 1 laser safety standards. Choose the preset by clicking the + or - buttons. To change a preset, select the preset, set the desired value using the slider, and click the Save button.
- Page 25 Section 7 Research Instruments Ltd Assisted Hatching Procedure ASSISTED HATCHING PROCEDURE Introduction The aim of Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH) is to locally weaken the zona pellucida. The specimen is viewed along the optical axis and the laser creates a trench in the zona pellucida which extends above and below the apparent hole.
- Page 26 Section 7 Research Instruments Ltd Assisted Hatching Procedure Hole Size Selection For safe and effective treatment we recommend that pulses used are in the range 15 to 1000ms. Pulses that are very short may be ineffective and pulses that are too long may damage the embryo. For this reason, a warning will appear on the Fire button when pulse width is 15ms or below and when the pulse width is greater or equal to 1000ms.
- Page 27 Section 7 Research Instruments Ltd Assisted Hatching Procedure Move the specimen into the field of view. Select a short pulse length using the handset or the RI Viewer™ controls. The different settings do not vary the power of the laser; they control the length of time that the laser is fired.
