title: Multiple exposure photographic (MEP) technique: an objective assessment of sperm motility in infertility management.
abstract: Multiple exposure photography (MEP), an objective technique, was used in determining the percentage of motile sperms in the semen samples from 41 males being investigated for infertility. This technique was compared with the conventional subjective ordinary microscopy method of spermatozoal motility assessment. A satisfactory correlation was observed in percentage sperm motility assessment using the two methods but the MEP estimation was more consistent and reliable. The value of this technique of sperm motility study in the developing world is discussed.
