Call home, check your email, count your sperm: Taiwanese start-up Aidmics is
hoping to cash in on the $40 billion global human fertility market with an
iPad compatible gadget it calls iSperm.
台湾一家名为亿观的创新公司，希望能够借由他们制造出的与iPad相容名为iSperm
的显微镜头，在高达400亿潜在利益的全球人类生育市场中获利，。
Aidmics initially developed the product to help livestock farmers, but
founder Agean Lin now plans to seek U.S. Food and Drug Administration
approval next year to expand its use to men.
亿观原本研发此产品的目的为帮助养殖户，但是创办人林先生现在计画向美国食药
局申请明年能够扩大到人类也能够使用。
"In the U.S., one out of every six couples has trouble conceiving," Lin, 35,
told Reuters. Investment advisory Harris Williams estimates the global
fertility market to be worth as much as $40 billion.
iSperm was released commercially last August and has sold nearly 200 sets to
farms around the world. It isn't the first at-home sperm tester but the only
one that offers instant fertility measurements combined with live visuals of
the sperm.
这不是第一款家用的精子检测器，但是却是唯一一种可以立即看到精子影像的产品。
Lin said he aims to price the iSperm device between $100 and $200, a fraction
of the cost of the commercial version.
林先生说这款iSperm的售价大概会在一百至两百美金
The technology is simple: a tiny microscope enlarges the contents of a few
drops of semen inside a pipette, lit by a backlight. The light beams the
moving image to the iPad camera, and algorithms then analyze the sample for
total sperm count and motility, or how fast sperm can swim.

iSperm可以分析精子数和活动力，或者是你的精子能游多快。
Sam Wang, manager of a livestock farm in central Taiwan, is a convert. "Our
pregnancy success rate increased by 20 percent after we started using this
gadget," said Wang, who uses the device to measure the fertility of his boars.
一名台湾养殖户王先生，表示他使用这项产品以后，自家的山猪繁殖成功率提高了两成。
"In the past, we had to use huge, expensive microscopes and physically count
each sperm one-by-one," he said.
在过去，我们使用非常昂贵的显微镜并且用人工一个一个数精子。
