Biopsy and ICSI Microscopes
Microscopes for an optimized IVF procedures flow
CooperSurgical offers ideal solutions to allow optimised ICSI and Biopsy work in the lab.
Our workstations can be equipped with inverted microscopes with room for manipulation that offer high resolution and high contrast imaging.
Modulation / Relief Contrast for IVF Procedures
Also called relief contrast microscopy, or Hoffman modulation contrast, this technique is used when observing colourless, transparent samples.
Modulation contrast converts the difference in surface heights of a sample to brightness contrast for observation. This allows for samples to be viewed in 3D and thus this microscopy is suitable for observing sperm and egg cells.
Why Modulation Contrast?
- Specimens appear three dimensional
- Observation of cells in plastic containers
- Observation of sperms, oocytes, blastocysts and embryos
