• If the auto-focus procedure did not find the best focused image, you can manually
refocus the images by selecting the Live View option (home screen -> select the relevant
EmbryoSlide culture dish by pressing the Slide tab -> press the image of the relevant
well -> press the Live button).
• The automatic image acquisition is stopped in Live view during refocusing, adjustment of
focal planes or adjustment of exposure time. The image acquisition will automatically
restart after 30 minutes if you leave the EmbryoScope time-lapse incubator inactive in
Live mode. The time period until the image acquisition is automatically resumed will be
30 minutes, even if you have set up the EmbryoScope time-lapse incubator to produce
images every 10 minutes. You may, however, manually restart the image acquisition
without any delay by returning the EmbryoScope time-lapse incubator to the embryo
overview screen.
• If you adjust any of the camera settings in Live mode, the new settings are universally
applied to all wells and EmbryoSlide culture dishes.
• When you have opened the Live view without working actively on the screen for two
minutes, the light will automatically be turned off to prevent the embryo from being
excessively exposed to the light. In this case, a red note will appear on the screen with
the following text: “Camera light has been turned off. Press any key or button to re-
activate”.
• While an EmbryoSlide culture dish is paused, no time-lapse images are acquired from the
remaining EmbryoSlide culture dishes.
• If an EmbryoSlide culture dish has been paused for more than one hour, the
EmbryoScope time-lapse incubator will issue an alarm. This audible alarm can be
temporarily paused by pressing Reset alarm on the incubator touch screen.
