6.2 Resetting and calibrating the camera
To ensure that the two motors in the EmbryoScope time-lapse incubator move the culture dish
holder correctly and in alignment with the camera, a camera reset and calibration is required in the
following cases:
• Autofocus is not working appropriately.
• Wells are not centred.
• Cleaning or inspection has been carried out.
• The culture dish holder has been remounted.
Follow this procedure to reset and calibrate the camera:
1. Press Shutdown and then Close Program. The program shuts down, and the Windows
desktop is displayed.
2. Restart the Scope_D program from the desktop and wait for the welcome screen to appear.
3. Press Reset… on the welcome screen.
4. Press OK when asked whether you want to change the instrument parameters.
5. Select Standard as adjustment method. Do not select the Advanced option. This option is
only to be used by technicians certified by Vitrolife.
Do not press OK on the touch screen yet. This will cause the culture dish holder to move
away from the loading position, and you will be unable to insert the EmbryoSlide culture
dish.
6. Place an empty EmbryoSlide culture dish in position no. 1 of the culture dish holder. Make
sure to place the EmbryoSlide culture dish correctly in the culture dish holder. Placing the
culture dish incorrectly will adversely affect the efficiency of the autofocus procedure.
7. Press OK on the touch screen of the EmbryoScope time-lapse incubator.
