A 10 μl sample of sperm was placed on a prewarmed glass microscope slide and covered with a coverslip. At least 10 fields were assessed to classify a minimum of 100 spermatozoa.

Then place the Yo Clip, a mini microscope, on top of your smartphone, and insert the slide into the top of the Clip. After two to three minutes of processing, you’ll be able to view your sperm ...

Market leaders in temperature controlled microscopy, Linkam Scientific Instruments, have been chosen as suppliers of warm stages to a number of laboratories in the UK for sperm assessment.

Those systems cost between $50,000 and $100,000, Shafiee said, so many smaller clinics can't afford them and resort to having the staff conduct manual sperm counts using a microscope.

Once obtaining a sample, men have to drop some on a slide that slips into the connected camera device. The Yo will then record video of the live sperm while its algorithm processes how many are ...

What they found was that if the semen was confined to a ring of plastic on the microscope slide, at a certain sperm concentration it would start to collectively rotate in one direction.

And only 30% counted enough sperm on the microscope slide to make the measurement a robust one, the researchers said. The WHO recommends at last 200 sperm have to be examined to make an assessment of ...

But now, new 3D microscopy and high-speed video reveal that sperm don't swim in this simple, symmetrical motion at all. Instead, they move with a rollicking spin that compensates for the fact that ...

Antonie Philips van Leeuwenhoek, the father of microbiology, was appalled at the appearance of sperm under the microscope — and wish his discovery would be repressed. Subscribe.

When it comes to male fertility, not all sperm are created equal. In an Instagram reel, embryologist Dr. Lisa Lee (@drlisalee_ivf) broke down the differences between "good" and "bad" swimmers ...
