This highly efficient automated system for computerised semen analysis stands out for the integration of the classic CASA analysis with more advanced assays for sperm functionality.
Concentration and motility as well as sperm integrity and viability can be assessed accurately and quickly with up to 1000 cells per field, making AndroVision® the perfect tool for the objective and complete semen evaluation. All images and data are stored for later review.
The AndroVision® user interface is straightforward and easy to understand. An analysis report can be generated as a hard copy print or a digitized file. These features and more make AndroVision® the ideal choice for semen assessment in research, stallion semen QC and production labs.

Morphology and Morphometry
Interactive system for analysis of sperm morphology and morphometry. Identifies sperm in stained as well as unstained samples and measures length and width of the sperm head, head shape and midpiece asymmetry of each single sperm cell (acc. to Krüger). Results can be classified into a large range of morphologic abnormalities. Module Morphology and Morphometry REF. : 12500/130
