under a microscope once a day, briefly removing them from the incubator. While useful, this approach could miss subtle developmental changes and expose embryos to slight shifts in temperature or pH.
With time-lapse imaging, embryos remain undisturbed in a controlled environment while being photographed continuously by an inbuilt camera. These time-stamped images are compiled into a video that shows exactly how an embryo divides and grows over time. This gives specialists more insight into the quality and potential of each embryo, which can be especially helpful when deciding which one to transfer.
