Zona Imaging using Birefringence Measurement

Zona imaging using birefringence on oocytes (an immature ovum or egg cell) to select the ones with highest chances of successful pregnancy.

Birefringence is the optical property of a material and is widely used in medical imaging.

Birefringence imaging techniques are also used to find characteristics in sperm heads that allow for the selection of spermatozoa for intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
