Book Description

ISBN-10: 185070404X | ISBN-13: 978-1850704041 | Publication Date: June 15, 2000 | Edition: 1

This ground-breaking atlas of oocyte ultrastructure forms a practical guide to assisted reproduction. Extensively illustrated with transmission electron microscopic (TEM) images, it contains chapters on oocyte maturation, fertilization, fertilization failure, pitfalls and technical problems of intracytoplasmic sperm injection, and failed fertilization in vitro. A large chapter of TEM images illustrates fertilization failures after ICSI and IVF and the ultrastructure of germinal vesicle oocytes and metaphase I oocytes. The concluding chapter describes materials and methods for single-cell transmission electron microscopy of the human oocyte.
