I'm improving the lens and thinking about how to attach it to a smart phone and analyse sperm," said Kobori. An inexpensive lens could turn a smartphone into a microscope and help men analyse semen samples in the privacy of their home, say scientists. He is using the lens to create an iPhone microscope to analyse sperm samples at home, with help from an app that is in development. Researchers are also working to create better containers to collect and store semen samples. Kobori believes men would be more likely to analyse their sperm if they could do it in the privacy of their home.
