Microscopic Images of Human Blastocysts for biopsy

(A) Some trophectoderm cells in a blastocyst started to hatch and (B) the trophectoderm cells were biopsied with assisted laser cutting. Images in C–D show the blastocysts after vitrification and warming. Blastocysts had been cultured for 2–4 hrs after warming, showing good (ICM and trophectoderm cells) hatched (C) and hatching (D) blastocysts. The hatching blastocyst in (E) has good ICM but fair trophectoderm while the blastocyst in (F) has both fair ICM and trophectoderm. Arrows indicate ICMs and arrow heads indicate trophectoderm cells. Bar = 40 µm.
