Patient's question:
I've been married to my wife for over a year, but she hasn't gotten pregnant. At first, I thought it was her problem, but after we went to a small clinic for a check-up, the doctor said that the sperm in my body cannot survive and that I have low sperm quality. I'd like to ask, how do you examine sperm under a microscope?Doctor's answer:
When using a microscope, it is important to pay attention to the correct way to pick it up. When placing the microscope on the laboratory bench, position it slightly to the left. Rotate the turret to align a larger aperture with the light hole. In fact, make a clear image of the sperm. The specimen should be positioned directly in the center of the light path. Look through the eyepiece with your left eye while simultaneously turning the coarse focus knob in the opposite direction. Then, turn the fine focus knob until the image becomes clear.
