Table 1 Benefits and disadvantages of manual sperm analysis and computer assisted sperm analysis
From: How to optimize the benefits of computer assisted sperm analysis in experimental toxicology
Method | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|
Manual analysis | Low acquisition cost | Takes relatively long time for analysis |
Subjective Counting | ||
Only rough analysis | ||
Computer Assisted Analysis | Fast analysis | High acquisition costs |
Highly reproducible with same settings | Regularly maintenances necessary | |
Detailed analysis | Different settings may dramatically change results | |
| Â | High statistical power due to objective analysis of numerous sperms | Â |
