Abstract

The Embryoscope time-lapse system is a trigas incubator, which acquires a series of unattended measurements on individual embryos during their development. The measurements include time-lapse microscopy at multiple focal planes and logging of incubation conditions. The Embryoscope time-lapse system is divided into an embryo chamber and areas for electronic components, etc. The light green area in the preceding figure is the embryo chamber, and the blue pieces are the gas flow components in the system. The embryo chamber is divided into two areas following as the main embryo chamber and the secondary embryo chamber. This chapter discusses the time-lapse technology applied science in human in vitro fertilization, embryo assessment and selection, and limitations of time-lapse imaging.
