What types of microscopy techniques are available for IVF procedures?
-
Look for high-resolution optics, advanced contrast modes (e.g., DIC, circular polarization), ergonomic design, and compatibility with micromanipulation systems and heating plates. ZEISS microscopes are engineered with these IVF-specific needs in mind.
-
Yes. ZEISS systems are fully compatible with a range of heating plates and third-party micromanipulators, ensuring stable environmental control and seamless workflow integration.
-
ZEISS offers a wide range of contrast methods, including DIC, iHMC, PlasDIC, Phase Contrast and circular polarization, which are ideal for visualizing the meiotic spindle, assessing oocyte maturity and identifying sperm abnormalities during IMSI.
-
ZEISS offers expert technical support, training, and maintenance services to keep your lab running smoothly and to ensure your team gets the most out of your investment.

Several microscopy techniques and technologies are used in fertility treatments, such as widefield microscopy and stereo microscopy. Widefield microscopy allows the analysis of sperm samples, assessing parameters such as concentration, motility, vitality, and morphology. Widefield microscopy is also used in the evaluation of oocyte quality by visualizing detailed structures, such as the oocyte meiotic spindle. Stereo microscopy is only used for oocyte preparation and during thawing freezing embryo. These microscopy techniques enhance the accuracy and precision of the IVF process by enabling embryologists to select and prepare the healthiest sperm and oocyte for fertilization to optimize the chances of successful embryo development.
-
Advanced microscopy techniques provide accurate visualization and assessment of sperm, oocytes, and embryos, allowing embryologists to select the healthiest cells for fertilization and implantation. This optimized selection process increases the chances of successful embryo development and ultimately improves IVF success rates. With improved success rates, patients undergoing fertility treatment have a better chance of achieving a successful pregnancy.
