The Nidacon Sperm MorfoStain™ is a classical Romanovsky type stain. It is a one step stain optimised for assessment of sperm morphology, which is one of the basic tools used in semen analysis. The technique is based on the principle that the sperm will be stained in a darker colour (blue) and the backround will be lighter and therefore the shape, size and integrity of the sperm can easily be seen in oil immersion under a microscope.
