This Epub incorporates 37 years of embodied research at Monash & La Trobe Universities, Melbourne, by the author with his colleagues in Australia and overseas (England, Singapore, India, Sri Lanka, Italy & Japan).It is a multi-author, visual presentation of the microscopic structure of human oocytes, sperm and embryos in conjunction with clinical IVF and ART and includes embryonic stem cells, a logical extension of ART.Most of the images were taken with electron microscopes (TEM & SEM), light and phase microscopes (LM) and fluorescent microscopes (FM) with diagrams.Both published micrographs (from our atlases and journals) and also original unpublished micrographs are presented. The printed atlases were scanned and new material was provided on PPT, PDF & YouTube for EPub.The aim of this EPub is to make our research available online for clinicians, scientists & students and posterity.

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 Using 470 original and unpublished images, the book shows various ultrastructural morphological phenotypes; defects of the sperm head, neck, middle piece, principal piece, and terminal piece; as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.

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.
