Spindle View ICSI Polscope-guided ICSI at Bavishi Fertility Institute

An advanced form of ICSI that lets the embryologist see the egg's meiotic spindle. This helps achieve better fertilisation and gives a more detailed assessment of egg quality.

What is Spindle View ICSI

What is Spindle View ICSI?

In patients showing poor fertilisation with IVF or conventional ICSI, Spindle View ICSI helps to achieve better fertilisation. It also provides a more detailed analysis of egg quality.

The technique uses a specialised polarised microscope, or Polscope, to visualise the meiotic spindle inside the egg during its final maturation. Seeing the spindle lets the embryologist align the egg for injection so the spindle is not damaged — something conventional ICSI cannot do, as it relies only on the position of the polar body as a marker.

Step by Step

How Spindle View ICSI works

A visualisation step is added to the standard ICSI workflow.

01

Egg assessment

Each mature egg is examined under the Polscope, which reveals the meiotic spindle that is invisible under an ordinary microscope.

02

Spindle visualisation

The embryologist studies the spindle's position, length and area as an indicator of egg quality.

03

Alignment

The egg is aligned so the injection avoids the spindle, rather than relying on the polar body as an approximate marker.

04

Injection

A single sperm is injected with the spindle protected, supporting better fertilisation.

05

Culture & transfer

Fertilised eggs are cultured into embryos, and the best embryo is selected for transfer, like any other ICSI cycle.

FAQ

Spindle View ICSI — your questions answered

Conventional ICSI relies on the polar body as a marker for the spindle's location, whereas Spindle View ICSI uses a Polscope to visualise the actual meiotic spindle, reducing the risk of damage.

A specialised polarised microscope visualises the meiotic spindle in the egg, and the embryologist aligns the spindle to avoid damaging it during sperm injection.

Ideal candidates include patients with poor fertilisation in previous IVF cycles, poor-quality embryos, or a low ovarian reserve.

By helping keep the meiotic spindle intact during ICSI, the technique can support better-quality embryos in suitable cases.

Success rates vary with individual factors, but studies show patients undergoing spindle-aligned injection can experience better fertilisation rates.
