• Research summary

  The present study will aim to describe parameters which could potentially be related to the quality of human female eggs. Research will involve taking pictures of eggs after they are routinely taken out the human body and before insemination at a fertility clinic. Images can easily be obtained without disturbing the environment during different procedures. Analysis of the images might provide a further understanding on egg quality and development in the laboratory.
