Replacing and superseding all other works in this area, Dr. Lucinda L. Veeck's An Atlas of Human Gametes and Conceptuses is the only book now in print that shows the typical and atypical morphology of human oocytes, sperm, and preembryos collected and cultured during the course of in vitro fertilization treatment. Brilliantly illustrated with hundreds of original photographs in color as well as black and white, the book also details and fully illustrates specific new reproductive technologies and provides the reader with both a glossary and a concise history of in vitro fertilization.

The Embryologist's Bible!,
This review is from: An Atlas of Human Gametes and Conceptuses: An Illustrated Reference for Assisted Reproductive Technology (BAR International) (Hardcover)
Lucinda Veeck has again provided the embryologist with a magnificent collection of photographs depicting every possible scenario faced within the in vitro fertilization laboratory. From oocyte to blastocyst, every stage beautifully depicted, with excellent narrative. This collection is a vital tool for training the eye of junior embryologists as well as a welcome resource for experienced laboratorians needing a second opinion. I wouldn't want to be without this book!
