1. The body of the ISB presents a flat and cylindrical shape. The scan region presents a
partially beveled segment.
2. The ISB presents an asymmetrical shape with bulges and indentations. The body of the ISB is cylindrical and the scan region is light.
3. The ISB presents a cylindrical shape with one retraction each and a slightly enlarged diameter in the scan region. ISB 3 presents an intermediate shape between ISB 1 and ISB 2.
