### You need a gynecological ultrasound machine, the basic equipment of an
OB/GYN office, some needles, syringes for collecting the ova, then a cell
culture microscope, cell culture equipment (centrifuge, incubator, laminar
flow hood, flasks, media, and other disposables) for growing and harvesting
the nuclei, a micromanipulator (pneumatic), freezer, all in all, could be a
couple hundred thousand $ if new and top of the line, but I am sure you
could cobble together a cheaper set from second-hand sources.
