  • Patent number: 10047331
    Abstract: A tray (100; 400; 500; 600) for accommodating a cell culture (101), such as an embryo, for use during culturing thereof and for optical monitoring of the cell culture, e.g. during in vitro fertilization comprises a carrier structure (104;404;504;604) defining at least one accommodating zone (102; 402; 502; 602) for accommodating the cell culture. At least one focal lens (110; 410; 510; 610), notably a numerical aperture increasing lens is integrally formed with the carrier structure to facilitate monitoring of the cell culture through the carrier structure. A diameter of the focal lens may exceed a diameter of the at least one accommodating zone. The focal lens may be integrally molded with the carrier structure from a thermoplastic material.
