Sperm Microscopes

Reproductive science is serious business, and when it comes to making sure that special couple can have a child it's important to know the father isn't shooting blanks. That's where semen analysis microscopes come in. Sperm microscopes are used by andrologists to analyze the quantity and quality of those little swimmers to help determine male fertility, and that means these types of microscopes need to have some very specific capabilities.

First and foremost, semen analysis requires live samples, and that means the microscope should have a heated stage. Sperm needs to be warm to be kept alive through the analysis. Staining and contrast techniques used to look at living samples have to not harm them either, which is why sperm microscopes use phase-contrast technologies. Many also make use of digital HD imaging technology to export images or live videos for better viewing, further analysis, or for training purposes. Good sperm microscopes round out their capabilities with a binocular eyepiece, a mechanical stage for better focusing, and magnification powers up to 400X, though more advanced models can go up to 1000X.
