ABOUT THIS PODCAST
The CRi Oosight™ Imaging System is a next-generation, improved version of CRi's own, original, industry-leading SpindleView™ system. Use the system for assisted reproductive technology applications for imaging the meiotic and mitotic spindle, the three-layered zona pellucida, and other birefringent structures. Assess the quality of living oocytes. Non-invasively locate and position the spindle for ICSI. Monitor changes in spindle parameters from oocyte to oocyte. Remove the spindle in nuclear transfer techniques without using Hoechst dye DNA staining, thus minimizing damage to vital cytoplasmic organelles. Track the changing molecular organization of the zona pellucida through embryo development.
