Definitions

  • the laser system further includes a motor configured to move the support member along the linear rail.
  • the laser system further includes a microscope objective positioned downstream of the lens and configured to capture the collimated laser beam and to focus infrared light waves and visible light waves within the collimated laser beam at a same plane within the specimen.
  • the laser system 100 assembled with the microscope 201, the video camera 203, and the computer 205, can be used to perform other microsurgical procedures on the embryo.
  • the microscope 201 shown in FIG. 1 is an inverted microscope that includes, among other standard microscope components, eyepieces 207 through which a user can view a specimen 211 and a prism 209 that directs light transmitted through the specimen 211 to the eyepieces 207 and to the video camera 203 for visualization of the specimen 211.
  • the rear motor assembly 160 includes a rear motor 186 (e.g., a piezoelectric linear motor) that is attached to the integrated vertical slide mechanism 158, a vertical drive bar 188 that is translatable vertically by the rear motor 186, upper and lower movement blocks 190, 192 that are attached to the rear support block 150, detent balls 194 that connect the upper and lower movement blocks 190, 192 to the vertical drive bar 188 and to a connector plate 196 that is connected the lower movement block 192.
  • a rear motor 186 e.g., a piezoelectric linear motor
  • a laser system uses a different type of movement mechanism, such as flexural hinges to couple support blocks to linear bars of a motor module.
