Label-Free Quantitative Imaging of Sperm for In-Vitro Fertilization Using Interferometric Phase MicroscopyIVF, IMSI, ICSI, IPM, Holography, Imaging, Sperm

Abstract: Accurate morphological evaluation via imaging of sperm cells is a critical step in both routine sperm analysis and sperm cell selection for in vitro fertilization. In this paper, we review the significant advantages of interferometric phase microscopy (IPM), also called digital holographic microscopy, for label-free sperm imaging in fertility clinics. We first review the current state of the art of label-free sperm cell imaging for in vitro fertilization, including brightfield, Zernike phase contrast, differen… Show more

“…Quantitative phase microscopy is a stain-free holographic-imaging method that uses interference between a beam passing through the sample and a mutually coherent reference beam to record the quantitative phase map of the cell. This map is proportional to the cell optical thickness or its optical path delay (OPD), which is induced from the cell refractive index values across its thickness at each point on the image [ 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Stain-free quantitative phase microscopy of sperm cells provides improved contrast that correlates well to that of stained sperm cells.…”
