Rapid 3D imaging and in-depth structural analysis opens up quality monitoring and spermatozoa selection for artificial insemination in humans and animals. A key determinant for success in artificial insemination for humans and animals is the quality of the spermatozoa. However, current 2D label-free imaging methods can only detect abnormal spermatozoa with significant morphological changes or incomplete structures and are unable to provide information on their internal structure or composition....
