This atlas provides ultrastructural morphological images of human spermatozoa. Sperm morphology plays an essential role in sperm-oocyte interactions and early embryonic development, and human sperm ultrastructural morphology offers a valuable reference tool for assessing certain etiologies of male infertility and reproductive failure. However, the ultrastructural morphology of human sperm has not been systematically evaluated or thoroughly described in the literature. Using 470 original and unpublished images, the book shows various ultrastructural morphological phenotypes; defects of the sperm head, neck, middle piece, principal piece, and terminal piece; as well as artefacts of sperm ultrastructural morphology and phenomena related to inadequate preparation, demonstrating many sperm phenotypes and surface structural appearances for the first time. As such, it helps researchers and practitioners in andrology, reproductive medicine, and reproductive pathology gain a better understanding of human sperm ultrastructural morphology.

This atlas is an illustrated guide intended to be read and used as a reference for students, technicians and practitioners in the diverse fields of andrology, urology, pathology, gynecology, IVF and other ART programs. It embodies the basic concepts of sperm morphology, and with pedagogical use of over 140 colour figures, the book is a comprehensive guide to the subject. Dr Phadke has drawn upon his 52 years of knowledge and experience, and his vast collection of slide photographs to produce an outstanding work. The book is divided into 3 sections - Clinical Atlas, Pictorial Atlas and Key Appendices, and the colour figures are clearly and beautifully presented and explained throughout the text. It will be a valuable educational resource for andrologists and spermatologists around the world.

Sperm morphology evaluation by strict criteria is the gold-standard used by IVF and andrology units around the world. It is based on an approach to sperm morphology evaluation that utilizes optimal preparation methods, evaluation procedures, and criteria for a morphological normal spermatozoon based on biological evidence. Featuring fresh perspectives from the founders of the Tygerberg strict criteria, Atlas of Human Sperm Morphology Evaluation provides state-of-the-art information on crucial aspects of male factor infertility. The atlas consists of an introductory teaching manual that gives readers the ability to train and test their diagnostic capabilities and enables laboratories to implement quality control measures. Together with a team of internationally renowned experts in the field of human reproduction, the editors explore every avenue you need to know to successfully evaluate and manage male factor infertility. An accompanying interactive CD-ROM training program, STRICT 1-2-3® is available from the editors. STRICT 1-2-3® has been developed alongside the atlas to provide not only a complete theoretical background on sperm morphology, but also self-training facilities. Laboratory directors and technicians will now be able to set up their own internal quality control program for sperm morphology evaluation.

This atlas provides valuable information on crucial aspects of sperm examination as well numerous meaningful color illustrations. It discusses successful evaluation of the sperm morphology and the cellular elements other than spermatozoa, enabling readers to unambiguously interpret seminal cytologic images and compare reports for diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic purposes. With its extensive collection of colored images, the book is intended as a reference resource for students and technicians in the field of andrology as well as practitioners and clinicians in andrology, urology, pathology, IVF and other ART programs

This atlas covers the origins of the morphology of human in vitro fertilization (IVF) including advances made since 1978. It is the combined effort of three world renowned scientists: an embryologist, a reproductive scientist, and a gynecologist. They helped develop the successful IVF program in Australia, which has the largest collection of electron micrographs of human sperm in the world. This volume brings together the results of intensive research on the ultrastructural aspects of human in vitro fertilization, where over 300 preovulatory eggs, both normal and abnormal, have been assessed for maturation, fertilization, and early development. These electron microscopy studies--combined with such noninvasive methods as phase and interference microscopy--provide the basis for improving and simplifying IVF techniques.
