-
Examination under high magnificationThe embryologist examines the sperm under a microscope at a magnification many times greater than that used in standard methods in order to assess their shape and structure in detail.

Injection and TrackingThe sperm cell with the best visible morphology is selected and injected directly into the egg. The development of the embryos is closely monitored over the following days.
