To remove a probe and the fiber from the box:
<uolo>
<li>
<p>Carefully press the both sides of the foam near the probe head, carefully un-wedge the probe from its slot, and then lift the probe. Figure 2.4 shows a picture how to remove a probe.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Carefully remove the probe from the foam, making sure to grasp the probe glass tube and not the probe tip, as this may damage the EO probe.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>While holding the probe from its glass tube and keep the fiber sheath in your hand, avoid stretching the white plastic shield part of the fiber. Do not pull the plastic shield part hard.</p>
