It is based on an approach to sperm morphology evaluation that utilizes optimal preparation methods and evaluation procedures and criteria for a morphological normal spermatozoon based on biological evidence. The Atlas of Human Sperm Morphology Evaluation forms a teaching manual that gives readers the ability to train and test their diagnostic capabilities and laboratories guidelines for establishing quality control measures.
