We all understand what 3 dimensions are (X, Y and Z axis) and we clearly have access to these three dimensions. The 4 th dimension is imagined in many science fiction movies and physics theories and it

always is imagined to be TIME! If you get access to this dimension called time, you can time travel. You can have access to your past and your future. It is always thrilling to imagine a future where humans have access to time. Something very close to time travel in the field of biology is Time Lapse Microscopy (TLM). Using this technology, you can go back in time and see what happened at what time. This can help us rectify the mistakes, invent solutions and learn to tackle future problems.

One of the most important applications of TLM today has to be in the field of Assisted Reproductive technology. Embryos are monitored throughout the period they grow inside a lab from the time of fertilization using ICSI or IVF until they become a fully formed blastocyst. An embryologist uses a device called the Embryoscope to understand the embryos and the problems they are facing to grow

and implant themselves onto the endometrium in the female uterus. He understands a new constraint in the development of embryos called the embryo Morphokinetics which was not possible to be read

using traditional checks of embryo development. Enrol to our new course named Advanced embryology and explore yourself at the 4 th dimension.
