This andrology and semen analysis microscope is used for viewing both the quality and quantity of semen. Andrologists use phase contrast when they do not want to stain a sample in order to view the shape of the sperm. Semen analysis microscopes include a heated stage plate and controller, which allows the semen to remain living, which is important in andrology analysis.
