Abstract

A method of automated measurement of motility and morphology parameters of the same single motile sperm. Automated motility and morphology measurements of the same single sperm are performed under different microscope magnifications. The same single motile sperm is automatically positioned and kept inside microscope field of view and in focus after magnification switch. A method of automated non-invasive measurement of sperm morphology parameters under high magnification of imaging. Sperm morphology parameters including subcellular structures are automatically measured without invasive samplestaining. A method of automatically selecting sperms with normal motility and morphology and DNA integrity for infertility treatment.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods for automatic motility and morphology measurements of the same single motile sperm at different microscope magnifications and automatic selection of sperm with normal motility and morphology. Background technique [0002] The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that 48.5 million couples worldwide suffer from infertility, and many of these couples seek in vitro fertilization (IVF) for treatment. There are currently approximately 3,000 IVF clinics worldwide, including 458 in the United States alone, and the number is growing rapidly. Measurements of sperm motility and morphology are important for IVF, with a wide range of applications such as male infertility diagnosis and selection of sperm for IVF treatments such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). [0003] Sperm can move rapidly out of the microscope field due to their rapid movement (eg, >25 μm / s). Therefore, sperm motility measurements requir...
