Intracytoplasmic morphologically sperm injection

Intracytoplasmic morphologically sperm injection (IMSI) is a technique in assisted reproductive technology which helps embryologists to examine and select healthier sperm using a high magnification microscope to identify certain features of healthier sperm. The morphology of the sperm can be seen in great detail using IMSI with magnification upto 6600 times than the conventional microscope. The morphologically selected sperms are then used for ICSI. We were the first unit in India to install this technology in 2007. We have this technology available in Mumbai, Delhi and Chandigarh.
