Abstract
The human curiosity and technological advances have allowed us to actively participate in the fertilization process in providing a greater understanding of our existence. With in vitro fertilization was able to analyze the early stages of human fertilization and embryogenesis (Payne et al., 1997). However, this analysis was superficial and most of the development and morphological changes were derived and based on observations with hours apart, little interference order and welfare of embryos (Payne et al., 1997). Accurate evaluation of the embryo quality and selection of excellent embryos are particularly important in assisted reproductive treatment to the success rate. The use of an automated tool to schedule specific embryonic imaging allows us to collect more accurate date and precise embryo development and to quantify the exact time of each embryo cleavage. We describe a pregnancy obtained by in vitro fertilization through a monitoring of fertilization and embryonic development by the real time lapse embryoscope.
