The sperm count has proved to be one of the first examination performed in evaluating the fertility of a couple. It has been possible to establish a few standardized norms from the sperm count of fertile men, but, except for azoospermia, there is no specific limit beyond which it is possible to confirm the absence of fertilization of a sperm. The various criteria of the sperm count then examined, emphasizing the importance of studying the morphology, on optical as well as electron microscopy, since it is the spermatozoid's morphology as well as their mobility that differentiate fertile man from infertile ones. Any abnormality often severely compromises the ability to fertilize spermatozoids.
事实证明，精子计数是评估夫妻生育能力时首先进行的检查之一。根据有生育能力男性的精子计数，已经有可能确立一些标准化规范，但是，除了无精子症之外，并没有一个具体的界限能据以确定精子无法受精。随后研究了精子计数的各种标准，强调了在光学显微镜和电子显微镜下研究形态学的重要性，因为正是精子的形态及其活力将有生育能力的男性与无生育能力的男性区分开来。任何异常情况通常都会严重损害精子的受精能力。
