Thermic and Metabolic Microsensors for Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE) Before ICSI

  • Chapter
Male Sterility and Motility Disorders

Part of the book series: Serono Symposia USA ((SERONOSYMP))

Abstract

The expanding field of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and assisted reproduction technologies (ART) takes advantage of advanced microtechnologies and microoptics for laboratory microscopy as micromanipulators and microlasers for cell photoactivation and drilling (1).
