Dynamic Moveable Laser 

XYRCOS® DTS provides computer-controlled accuracy and advanced targeting features to assist with easier cell removal. 

Select different laser paths to match the shape of the zona’s outer layer and perform fast and easy cell separation!

LYKOS® with DTS
  • Single shot: click any single point on screen to fire. 
  • Line / curve: draw a straight line of any length and then select and drag to create a curve. 
  • Freehand: draw any freeform path by clicking and dragging.
  • Multipoint: click up to 25 non-connected locations to apply laser. Each point may have a different laser setting. 
  • Rectangle: click and drag to draw a rectangle of any proportion.
  • Circular Arc: A circle arc (part or segment of the circumference of a circle) may be drawn and edited as needed.
Fixed Lasers

We also offer fixed laser systems but these lasers do not offer beam steering mechanisms and multiple laser paths. The XYRCOS is equipped with the RED-i target locator visible through the microscope eyepieces and staccato mode for firing in rapid succession. The legacy XYClone is an alternative laser without RED-i or staccato features.

Isotherm Rings for Temperature Indication

The Isotherm Rings appear on the screen as a series of six concentric circles of varying colors. This safety feature indicates the drill hole size and the maximum temperature reached at the ring diameter. The Isotherm Rings automatically adjust for every power and pulse time combination.

High Resolution Digital Camera

View embryos in full screen and enhanced resolution with the integrated digital camera.  

Integrated Database

Store sample details and images to database. Improve workflow with the ability to quickly select sample information for future procedures.
