    • ① Put DW into the syringe of the micro grinder and drip water onto the grinding wheel.

      ② Switch on the micro grinder so that the whole grinding wheel gets wet with DW.

      ③ Simply set the extended needle in the holder of the micro grinder.

      ④ Lower the holder angle to 30 degrees.

      ⑤ Operate the knob on the micro grinder to lower the needle to the surface of the grinder.

      ⑥ Operate the lens knob on the micro grinder to focus the pipette.

      ⑦ Rotate the coarse lever of the needle of the microgrinder and lower the tip of the pipette just before the surface of the grinding wheel.

      ⑧ Rotate the micro-motion lever to attach the needle tip to the grinding wheel surface.

      ⑨ Lower the needle with the micro-motion lever and start sharpening the tip.

      ⑩ When the mouth of the tip is empty about 10μm, turn the roughing lever to raise the whole needle and remove the needle.

      ⑪ Attach the needle to the dramont capillary pipette.

      ⑫ Put the tip in distilled water, take in and out distilled water, and wash off the grinding wheel powder.

      ⑬ Once, transfer to a needle case to dry.

      ⑭ As with microinjection needles, a stenosis is formed at the tip. For implantation, narrow the stenosis as much as possible. Note that if it is too thin, it will become clogged.
