Pipette Angle Adjustment
Turn the Pipette Angle Control to increase or decrease the angle of the
pipette. The tip of the pipette will stay in focus, so the angle can be
changed at any time during a procedure. For example, the pipette can be
set ‘toe down’ for sperm immobilisation and then straight for injection.
Routine Pipette Set-up
Note:
Do not place any force on the baseplate as this will affect the
focus. If any step cannot be completed (for example, if the pipette tip
is a long way out of focus at step 7), then carry out the initial pipette
set-up procedure as described on the previous pages.
