| Description | The obtained images clearly show both normal sperm head and defects of the surface of spermatozoa exposed to heating. Even the ultrastructure at the top of the flagellum and the region of the acrosome cap are clearly distinguishable. Moreover, elements of internal structure can be observed whenever the plasmatic membrane is missing. The best images of both normal and damaged spermatozoa were selected for presentation. |
