Time-lapse incubators are advanced incubation systems equipped with high-resolution cameras and sophisticated software. These incubators allow for the continuous monitoring of embryos without the need for manual removal from the controlled environment, minimizing disruptions to the developmental process.

Time-lapse incubators capture images of developing embryos at regular intervals, typically every few minutes. This continuous monitoring provides detailed insights into the embryo’s growth, morphology, and developmental milestones. Advanced algorithms analyze these images to assess embryo quality and viability without disturbing their environment.
