Welcome to the user manual for the Research Instruments Integra 3
micromanipulaon workstaon. This manual covers set-up, operaon
and maintenance of the workstaon. Please note that installaon and
servicing is covered separately in the Integra 3 Installaon and Service
Manual (6-54-701IM). Users within the USA will not be provided with
Integra 3 Installaon and Service Manual.
The Integra 3 provides a means of micromanipulang samples placed
under a microscope whilst maintaining sample temperature when
performing assisted reproducon techniques (ART).
An Integra 3 system consists of a baseplate which ts to a microscope, a
heated stage, two mechanical micromanipulators and two micropipee
holders. The system also includes syringes to apply sucon and pressure.
SAS air syringes are supplied as standard, but the SOS oil syringe or SAS-
SE ne control air syringe are available on request. Oponal components
include a double toolholder, an ITO heated glass insert and an air heang
system which is congured according to the customer’s microscope. All
heang systems are electrically powered.
Movement (micromanipulaon) is controlled by mechanical means
only with levers which provide both coarse (XY) and ne (XYZ) control.
Both temperature and movement are controlled manually by the user.
