IVF/ICSI

Clinical Research Application

Clinical Application

Applications: ICSI

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an in vitro fertilization technique in which a single sperm is injected into the oocyte cytoplasm using a pipette. Our inverted microscope system helps improve the quality of ICSI, which requires both speed and precision. With an optical system exclusively developed for ICSI, the microscope enables clear visualization of the spindle in a metaphase II oocyte through the oculars. Observing the spindle helps improve ICSI precision by confirming the oocyte’s phase of maturation and the position of the pipette injection to avoid damage to the spindle. The motorized unit also contributes to faster ICSI through its streamlined operation, helping alleviate stress on the oocyte. Optional differential interference contrast (DIC) observation units enable researchers to use intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection (IMSI) to confirm the shape, size, and number of vacuoles in the head of the sperm.

IX3-ICSI/IMSIShow Description
IX3-ICSI/IMSI

The IX3-ICSI system is designed to facilitate the use of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) as part of the in vitro fertilization (IFV) process. Olympus’ relief contrast method enables 3D oocyte observation in plastic dishes to check the zona pellucida condition. The IX3 semimotorized system has an ICSI-dedicated hand switch to instantly change the observation method and magnification with the simple touch of a button. Use the polarization method to observe the spindle and its position to confirm oocyte maturity and avoid damage during injection and the differential interference contrast (DIC) method to perform intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection (IMSI).

  • Optimized for a smoother ICSI workflow
  • Easy oocyte condition checks through spindle visualization
  • Streamlined ICSI steps through motorized operation

SZX16Show Description
SZX16

Image macro views of whole organisms to micro views of individual cell structures using the SZX16 research stereomicroscope. Its wide zoom ratio (16.4:1) enables magnifications of 7x–115x with a 1X objective and up to 230x with a 2X objective. Clearly observe fine details owing to the apochromatic optics, reducing chromatic blur for the entire magnification range, and its 0.3 numerical aperture (NA), providing a high 900 line pairs per mm resolution.

  • Advanced model offering darkfield, brightfield polarization, oblique, and advanced fluorescence observation
  • Ergonomically designed and provides ample space for manual and automated manipulation and injection tools
  • 2 energy-efficient, long-life LED transmitted light illumination base options
