OCTAX cytoScreen
Affordable “dry” IMSI through digital image enhancement
OCTAX cytoScreen
Octax cytoScreenTM – the smart solution for intracytoplasmic, morphologically selected sperm injection (IMSI). High magnification microscopy involving real-time digital enhancement of the image is used to improve treatment results in critical ICSI cases. Selecting for sperm without vacuoles and normal head shape and morphology has repeatedly been reported to improve pregnancy rates and reduce miscarriage rate in selected patient groups.
OCTAX cytoScreen™ is compatible with conventional relief or Hoffman´s contrast condensers and avoids the need to invest in DIC (differential interference contrast) optics. Combining a 60x “dry” objective with our OCTAX high resolution USB2.0 camera provides excellent image quality and disburdens you from cleaning oil immersion objectives after every procedure.
OCTAX cytoScreen™ is based on the multi-purpose IVF imaging and database software OCTAX EyeWare™. Upgrades with other components of the OCTAX platform (see below) are easily possible.
