Optimized for a Smoother ICSI Workflow
As the demand for the use of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) applications has increased, so has the burden of the microscopy work it involves. Olympus’ in vitro fertilization technology (IVF) helps facilitate the ICSI workflow, improving the speed and efficiency of each procedure.
Easy Oocyte Condition Checks through Spindle Visualization
Olympus’ observation method enables you to easily view the metaphase II (MII) spindle through the microscope oculars with the touch of a button:
Confirm the oocyte’s maturity to facilitate the timing of the ICSI stage within the in vitro maturation (IVM) process.
Confirm the spindle’s position relative to the polar body before inserting the pipette to decrease incidences of damage to the oocyte.
Verify the spindles of vitrified oocytes are stable after thawing.
Streamlined ICSI Steps through Motorized Operation
Switch observation methods instantaneously and adjust the magnification with the press of a button on the integrated hand switch with motorized unit.
Improve your efficiency as motorized microscope adjustments reduce the number of steps required, enabling you to concentrate on the delicate work of operating the manipulator.
Manual focusing can be easily performed with a high degree of sensitivity in conjunction with the motorized observation and magnification.
Morphological Evaluation of Sperm at High Magnification
Smooth zooming from 1x, 1.6x, to 2x.
Combine the zoom with the 40X objective lens to observe the morphology and internal structure of the sperm head in detail.
IMSI DIC option can be added with LUCPLFLN60X objective and IX3-MDIC60.
