IVF treatment, light microscope C016 / 6535
IVF treatment. Light microscope of human egg cells (large, round) and sperm (small dark ovals with tails) in a petri dish during in vitro fertilisation (IVF). The eggs and sperm are incubated together in a culture medium for around 18 hours. For each egg roughly 75, 000 sperm cells are added to the medium. Any eggs that are fertilised at the end of the 18 hour period will be grown in the lab until they reach an early stage of embryonic development. They are then checked and implanted in the patients uterus

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate process of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment under a light microscope. In this image, human egg cells, distinguished by their large and round shape, are seen alongside sperm cells, characterized as small dark ovals with tails. The petri dish serves as the stage for this artificial conception technique. During IVF treatment, these eggs and sperm are carefully incubated together in a culture medium for approximately 18 hours. To maximize the chances of successful fertilization, around 75,000 sperm cells are added to each egg within the medium. At the end of this crucial period, any eggs that have been successfully fertilized will be nurtured in a laboratory setting until they reach an early stage of embryonic development. The lab technicians meticulously examine and assess these embryos before implanting them into the patient's uterus. This groundbreaking medical procedure offers hope to individuals struggling with fertility issues by providing an assisted reproductive technique that can potentially lead to pregnancy. In this remarkable photograph taken through a light microscope lens, we witness science at its finest - where medicine meets technology to help fulfill dreams of parenthood. It showcases both the complexity and beauty inherent in our understanding of reproduction and highlights how advancements like IVF continue to revolutionize gynecological practices worldwide.
