Freezing of Oocytes and Its Effect on the Displacement of the Meiotic Spindle: Short Communication

Figure 1

The sequence of the three figures of the same oocyte illustrates that the spindle and the polar body move relative to each other.

(a) Oocyte before cooling and cryopreservation to show spindle location relative to polar body

(b) Same oocyte immediately after cryopreservation to show that the spindle has depolymerized

(c) Same oocyte after culture to show that the spindle has repolymerized but in a different location relative to the polar body
