IVF microscope imaging system research. Live oocytes (immature eggs) being imaged using a new microscope imaging system. It is these immature eggs that are harvested from the ovaries and used in IVF (in-vitro fertilisation) procedures. This display is the result of research into an innovative microscope imaging system for IVF clinics. The aim is to improve identification of viable eggs, embryos and sperm, increasing conception rates and reducing the need for repeat cycles of IVF treatment. The two imaging techniques used are coherent Raman microscopy (CRM) and two-photon fluorescence (TPF). The lead scientist is biospectroscopy researcher Sumeet Mahajan, who is Professor of Molecular BioPhotonics and Imaging at the Institute for Life Sciences at the University of Southampton, UK. This research project, titled 'Engineering Novel Imaging Technologies for Reproductive Health: Transforming IVF Outcomes', was announced in 2018. | |
