FIGURE 1 Demonstration and localization of zona pellucida (ZP) breaching of embryos undergoing laser-assisted hatching under phase-contrast inverted microscopy (original magnification, ×400). (A), One quarter convex of the ZP of a cleaving embryo is thinned to 5 μm in thickness (arrowheads) with a central dimple, without penetrating the ooplasm (arrow). (B), The laser-breached ZP is identified and looks like a straight dissection (arrowheads) on the convex surface when the manipulated embryo is rotated. (C), The laser-hatched thinner convex ZP (arrowheads) is present in an expanded blastocyst. (D), The straight dissection on the ZP (arrowheads) is present in a thawed blastocyst examined immediately after thawing. ICM = inner cell mass; V = viable cells waiting for reexpansion; H = hyalinized dead cells with vacuoles. Kung. Transfer of frozen-thawed blastocysts. Fertil Steril 2003.
