IVF treatment, light microscope C016 / 6536
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 world of IVF treatment under a light microscope. The image showcases human egg cells, large and round in shape, alongside small dark ovals with tails representing sperm. These delicate components are delicately placed in a petri dish during the process of in vitro fertilisation (IVF). Within this controlled environment, the eggs and sperm are incubated together for approximately 18 hours within a culture medium. Remarkably, around 75,000 sperm cells are added to the medium for each individual egg. As time progresses, any eggs that successfully undergo fertilisation will be nurtured within the laboratory until they reach an early stage of embryonic development. The meticulousness of this technique is evident as these potential life-givers are meticulously checked before being implanted into the patient's uterus. This groundbreaking procedure offers hope to individuals struggling with fertility issues by providing an artificial means of conception. Through this vibrant and detailed light micrograph, we gain insight into the realm of assisted reproductive medicine and witness how science can intervene to fulfill dreams of parenthood. This photograph serves as a testament to both medical advancements and human resilience on their journey towards creating new life.
