Sperm video - what sperm look like under the microscope

If you have ever wondered what sperm look like, here's your chance of find out ! Just one drop of semen contains millions of tiny actively motile sperm, swimming in their desperate struggle to reach the egg. ( Just like most men, you'll notice that most of them are clueless, and never get anywhere, no matter how hard they try !)

This is what the doctor sees when he checks your semen sample under the microscope. He will check the sperm for their count and motility. You can learn more about how a semen analysis is performed here.
