"In vitro fertilization is a race against time. I thought this microscope was very helpful in that sense."
In April 2022, insurance coverage for infertility treatment started in Japan, making it easier for couples who want to conceive to receive ICSI treatment. However, in general, there is still a belief that “infertility is not a disease”, so there are many patients who suffer from anxiety or feel impatient during treatment. We interviewed Shoko Ieda and Sumi Shimamura of the Minatomirai Yume Clinic, who say that they find it rewarding to acknowledge these emotions and help such patients with the birth of their babies, about their impressions of using the ECLIPSE Ti2-I.
*Customers have provided feedback to Nikon on this microscope’s features and clinical usefulness, based on their own personal experience.
