Overview

This is an atlas of oocyte ultrastructure designed as a practical guide to assisted reproduction. It contains chapters on oocyte maturation, fertilization, fertilization failure, the pitfalls and technical problems of intracytoplasmic sperm injection, failed fertilization in vitro to explain the principles, and the evaluation of TEM images. The concluding chapter describes materials and methods for single-cell transmission electron microscopy of the human oocyte. The book is illustrated in full colour throughout.

Reviews

Windt, Barros and Sousa must be congratulated on their step-by-step description of the ICSI techniquea well-balanced account of the fertilization process. This excellent atlas is a must-have for clinicians and scientists involved in assisted reproduction programs, as well as those in need of a quick but thorough run-through in this exciting field of medicine. Given that half of this 187-page book consists of pictures, it provides for easy yet highly informative reading. Truly, if a picture is worth a thousand words then this book speaks volume. - Organon's Magazine on Women & Health
