Visualization of the metaphase II meiotic spindle in living human oocytes using the Polscope enables the prediction of embryonic developmental competence after ICSI

27 Mar 2003

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Meiotic spindles in living human oocytes can be visualized by the Polscope. This study investigated the relationship between the presence/location of the spindle in metaphase II (MII) oocytes and developmental competence of embryos in vitro. METHODS: The spindles in 626 MII oocytes were examined by the Polscope and divided into six groups (A-F) based on the presence or absence of the spindles and the...
