Powerful microscopes configured for working with sperm samples

CooperSurgical offers tailored solutions for andrology work in the IVF lab, offering powerful microscopes configured for working with sperm samples.
The configuration will enable the andrologists to assess both the quality and the quantity of the sperm.

All microscopes come with phase contrast and cold LED illumination. This will offer a high-contrast, high-resolution imaging, while keeping the samples unharmed.

Phase Contrast for Andrology Microscopes

Phase contrast is based on light variations caused by light diffraction. Colourless, transparent samples, such as sperm cells, are difficult to image using brightfield, but they generate phase contrast due to their differing refractive indexes or thicknesses.
Converting this contrast to brightness contrast enables this type of sample to be observed.

Why Phase contrast?
Phase contrast enables the brightfield observation of cells that could only be observed against a dark field. Living specimens can be viewed without needing to be stained, thus protecting the integrity of the samples.
