The IMSI procedure is the same as in ICSI cycles. First, the sperm sample is processed in the lab, and the pellet is resuspended at the adequate concentration. The only difference between IMSI and ICSI is the microscope used to select the sperms morphologically with IMSI. This type of microscope is based on the MSOME technology (Motile Sperm Organelle Morphology Examination), which is equipped with a digital imager.
Once the embryologist selects the best sperms, they are transferred to the ICSI plate and taken to a conventional microinjector to fertilize the eggs.
