2. Figure 1
Calcium oscillating pattern recorded following mouse ICSI. The first calcium rise, partially visible at time point 0, is provoked by the ICSI procedure itself. A second large calcium spike is seen within 10–15min following ICSI and this is followed by a series of calcium oscillations. AU=arbitrary units (recorded by F Vanden Meerschaut, Physiology Group, Department of Basic Medical Sciences, Ghent University).

4. Figure 3
Calcium response in in-vitro matured human oocytes during assisted oocyte activation (AOA) using ionomycin, as described by Rybouchkin et al. (1997). The first calcium rise is provoked by the ICSI procedure combined with calcium chloride injection (black arrow). The second and third calcium rises are provoked by the first and second ionomycin exposures, respectively (blue arrows). The insert represents the first 1.5h of calcium measuring. AU=arbitrary units (recorded by F Vanden Meerschaut, Physiology Group, Department of Basic Medical Sciences, Ghent University).
