Abstract

EN We used a digital holographic microscope (DHM) to analyse human sperm morphology. Length, width and thickness of the sperm cell head were determined by an operator, using the images produced by the software provided with the DHM. We developed an algorithm to replace part of the activities of the operator. This algorithm was written in the programming language R and the package EBImage. The algorithm produced similar results, while reducing the time needed from six hours to two when using a standard procedure.
