Abstract:
The fine structure of rejected human in vitro fertilized embryos was studied by light and transmission electron microscopy. Apart from normal cytoplasmic features, changes suggestive of degeneration are discussed. Cytoplasmic blebs and cellular debris as well as primitive interblastomeric junctions are also described.
