LM of hatching blastocyst in IVF
Light micrograph showing a hatching blastocyst, a six days-old human embryo. The blastocyst (left) at six days post-fertilisation is a hollow ball of cells with a fluid centre. Most of these cells will form the placenta & membranes, & only a small group (the inner cell mass) form the embryo proper. Here, the blastocyst is seen emerging from a hole in the zona pellucida (a protein " shell" around the oocyte). At this stage in nature, the blastocyst would be in the uterus & ready to begin implanting into the endometrium (the uterine lining). This image was produced in the course of In Vitro fertilisation research

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate beauty of a hatching blastocyst, providing a glimpse into the early stages of human life. Taken using a light micrograph, this image showcases a six-day-old embryo formed through in vitro fertilization (IVF). The blastocyst, depicted on the left side of the frame, appears as a delicate hollow ball composed of cells surrounding a fluid-filled center. Within this remarkable structure, most cells will go on to develop into crucial components such as the placenta and membranes. Only a small group known as the inner cell mass holds the potential to form the actual embryo itself. Here, we witness an extraordinary moment as the blastocyst emerges from an opening in its protective protein shell called zona pellucida. In nature's course, at this stage, it would be within the uterus and prepared for implantation into the endometrium –the lining that nurtures pregnancy. This particular image was captured during research conducted in IVF laboratories where scientists strive to understand and enhance fertility treatments. The Science Photo Library presents this awe-inspiring photograph not for commercial purposes but rather to showcase scientific advancements and provide insight into our understanding of embryonic development. It serves as both an educational tool and testament to humanity's ongoing quest for knowledge about reproduction and early human life.
