Abstract
Our approach to multispectral fluorescence microscopy can non-invasively identify the biomolecular composition of cells and capture complex biological heterogeneity which is fundamentally important for biological research and medical diagnostics. We have applied this technology to demonstrate the embryo quality for chromosomal abnormalities (containing euploid and aneuploidy cells) and understanding the biochemical signatures of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) oocytes. We then explored oocyte quality following treatment with the NAD+ precursor NMN. These findings demonstrate the utility of our approach to the multispectral assessment of autofluorescence for the non-destructive, label-free assessment of clinically relevant problems.
