| Abstract | In this work, the authors report an all-surfaces’ image capturing method of a single oocyte that uses micro-scale rotational flow. Here, the authors used this method gently and indirectly rotated the single pronuclear zygotes (physical properties are similar to those of oocytes) to obtain images of all its surfaces in 0.33 s. The necessary equipment to realise this method consists of only a syringe pump and a microfluidic chip with a single 40 µm diameter orifice. Assessment of viability and quality of oocytes or embryos during the process of intra cytoplasmic sperm injection) and in vitro fertilisation is important for good embryo development. At present, manual morphological evaluation is the most common method to assess viability and quality of oocytes. Usually, during the manual morphological evaluation, the operator is required to manipulate the oocyte to achieve its full surface image. However, manipulation is difficult, even for an experienced operator. Conventional methods using the principles of mechanics, electronics, or magnetism require a complex system. Conventional methods using principles of fluids or optics also have limitations about target size and transparency. Here, a method is proposed and proved of using rotational flow to gently capture and rotate a mouse zygote without using a complex control system and achieved its full surface image in 0.33 s. The method offers a new tool for morphological evaluation of assessment of viability and quality of oocytes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
