Abstract
The new electronic spermcounter was developed to make andrological routine work easier. The apparatus is a complete microcomputer and has 3 main functions. The counter function allows to determine the number of spermatozoa and round cells at the same time. The morphological function allows the detailed morphological analysis of stained spermatozoa specimen within a reasonable time. Besides the determination of normal and pathological forms a more exact differentiation of the respective pathological spermatozoon is possible. The timer function guarantees the exact timing of the evaluation of sperm motility. The motility is judged immediately after ejaculation and 30, 60, 120 and 240 min later. Using the electronic sperm counter in the andrological routine laboratory and for detailed morphological studies an improvement of the quality of the results and a remarkable saving of time was achieved. The spermcounter is valuable equipment for all institutions performing investigations on sperm, including clinical and practical andrologists, veterinarians and scientists working in the field of reproduction.
