| Summary |
Sperm morphology evaluation by strict criteria is the gold-standard used by all IVF and andrology units around the world. 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. An accompanying, interactive software teaching package CD-ROM consisting of a series of color photomicrographs of sperm samples is available from the authors |
