Time-Lapse Embryo Imaging
Continuous embryo monitoring for smarter, safer, and more successful IVF.
At Aakash Fertility Centre, we use Time-Lapse Embryo Imaging (EmbryoScope Technology) — a breakthrough that allows our embryologists to monitor your embryos’ growth every few minutes without disturbing them. This real-time insight helps us choose the healthiest embryo with the best chance of implantation, increasing your IVF success rate.
Time-Lapse Embryo Imaging
Traditional embryo observation requires removing embryos from the incubator at specific times, exposing them to external temperature and light.
With time-lapse technology, embryos stay undisturbed in a controlled incubator equipped with built-in cameras that capture thousands of images as they develop.
These images create a short video of embryo growth, helping our specialists track development milestones precisely.
What Is Time-Lapse Embryo Imaging?
How It Works
This process ensures the embryo remains in an ideal environment throughout, improving its viability.
- Embryo Culture: After fertilization, embryos are placed in the EmbryoScope incubator.
- Continuous Imaging: Cameras capture images every 10–15 minutes
- Growth Monitoring: The system records developmental patterns from Day 1 to Day 5.
- Selection: Using AI-supported analysis and expert review, the best embryo is selected for transfer or freezing.
Benefits of Time-Lapse Embryo Imaging
- Higher IVF Success Rates: Helps select embryos with the best growth potential.
- Safer, Non-Invasive Monitoring: No handling or exposure to external conditions.
- Accurate Selection: Detects subtle changes in cell division missed by manual checks.
- Reduced Stress for Patients: Increases confidence in embryo quality and selection process.
- AI Integration: Our system integrates AI-based analysis for improved precision.
“At Aakash, every embryo is nurtured with advanced science and gentle care.”
- Couples with multiple IVF failures
- Women of advanced maternal age
- Patients with limited embryos
- Those opting for Blastocyst Culture or PGT (Genetic Screening)
- Couples seeking the highest precision in embryo selection

What is time-lapse embryo imaging?
- It’s an advanced incubator system that takes continuous pictures of developing embryos, allowing specialists to assess growth without disturbing them.
Is it safe for embryos?
- Yes. The embryos remain in a stable environment with no exposure to light or temperature changes.
Does time-lapse imaging improve IVF success?
- It helps select embryos with the best growth potential, often improving success rates by up to 25%.
Can every patient opt for time-lapse monitoring?
- Yes, though it’s especially useful for patients with prior failed cycles or limited embryos.
How much does it cost?
- It’s available as part of our Advanced IVF package — our team can share exact pricing during your consultation
Is it combined with other technologies?
- Yes, often used with AI embryo selection, Blastocyst Culture, and Genetic Screening (PGT).
How long are embryos monitored?
- Typically for five days (Day 0–5) before transfer or freezing.
Can I see my embryo’s time-lapse video?
- Yes! Upon request, patients can view their embryos’ development video — a heartwarming first glimpse of life
