Sequential analysis of zona thickness during in vitro culture of human zygotes: Correlation with embryo quality, age, and implantation
1 May 1997
Abstract excerpt
Zona pellucida thickness was measured daily in zygotes and cleavage stage embryos. Measurements were performed on a Nikon inverted microscope equipped with Hoffman modulation optics, using an ocular micrometer. Zona thickness of each zygote/embryo was measured four times, the zygote/embryo was then "rolled over," and four more measurements were repeated for a total of eight. The zygotes/embryos were photographed...
