Relationship between meiotic spindle location with regard to the polar body position and oocyte developmental potential after ICSI

28 May 2003

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The recent development of a computer-assisted polarization microscopy system (Polscope) with which the meiotic spindle can be visualized in living oocytes on the basis of its birefringence permits analysis of the meiotic spindles of oocytes subjected to ICSI. Previous studies have shown that the meiotic spindle is not always aligned with the first polar body (PB) in metaphase II human oocytes prepared...
