Sperm Pictures - Male Infertility

Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago
Gurnee & Crystal Lake, Illinois

Fixed and stained human sperm in photos from our IVF lab
Some abnormal sperm morphology is shown
Very high magnification

Sperm morphology scoring tells us what proportion of the sperm are shaped normally
Very low morphology scores can indicate male infertility problems

Because not all technicians use exactly the same criteria for "normal" sperm, morphology percentages will vary significantly between laboratories (it is a subjective assessment)

This is a tool used in determination of sperm counts (concentration) and motility percentages
