k . Sperm bank. A technician prepares to remove a sample of frozen sperm from a storage unit in a sperm bank. This container is filled with liquid nitrogen, which keeps its contents at 180 degrees C. After a sample is removed and thawed, the most healthy sperms are selected by a computer imaging system and then used for in vitro fertilisation to treat infertile couples. Storage of frozen sperm can preserve a mans ability to have children if his fertility is threatened by cancer of the testis. Use of sperm from an anony mous donor can also help couples where only the male partner is infertile. MODEL RELEASED Editorial Stock Photo - Afloimages
