Use of a microcomputer with the multiple exposure photography (MEP) method for rapid analysis of semen characteristics is described. The computer is programmed to calculate information fed from a digitizing tablet while scanning projected images of photographed sperm. In this way sperm concentration, percentage of motility, average velocity and frequency distribution of sperm velocity, as well as percentage of abnormal forms are immediately obtained. The method was found to be as accurate, less prone to error, and significantly less time consuming than the previous manual measuring method. It can greatly facilitate routine semen analysis in laboratories using the MEP method.
本文描述了使用微型计算机结合多次曝光摄影（MEP）方法对精液特征进行快速分析。该计算机经过编程，可在扫描拍摄的精子投影图像时计算来自数字化绘图板输入的信息。通过这种方式，可立即获得精子浓度、活力百分比、平均速度和精子速度频率分布，以及异常形态百分比。结果发现，该方法与以前的手工测量方法一样准确，更不易出错，且耗时显著更少。它可极大地便利使用MEP方法的实验室进行常规精液分析。
