Figs. 314 from Don Fawcett's Chapter 12 (Centrioles). At the base of the flagellum of a mammalian spermatid, the juxtanuclear proximal centriole is continuous (at the arrow) with a structure of simila...

This image, produced by the freeze-fracture technique, shows regional specialization in the structure of mammalian sperm. The P-face of the plasma membrane of a guinea pig sperm tail can be divided i...

This electron micrograph shows the P-face of a small region of membrane from the midpiece of guinea pig sperm. The changing distribution of intramembranous particles (IMPs)in this image provided some...

Transmission electron micrograph of unstained cryo-section of a sperm cell of the starfish Patiria miniata. Echinoderm sperm nuclei are unusual in that chromatin fibers are clearly seen, allowing the...

Phosphorus has a characteristic electron energy loss with an edge at 160 eV. The Zeiss 902 electron microscope permits images to be recorded at different energy losses which can be digitized and proce...

Figs. 315 from Don Fawcett's Chapter 12 (Centrioles). The dense material that forms the capitulum and the cross-striated columns of the connecting piece in spermatozoa is formed in intimate associatio...

Figs. 311 & 312 from Don Fawcett's Chapter 12 (Centrioles). In ciliogenesis, newly formed single centrioles, serving as basal bodies, are arranged in rows and oriented perpendicular to the cell surfac...

The sequences in this videotape illustrate the unusual crawling motility of the amoeboid sperm of the nematode parasite, Ascaris suum, an intestinal parasite of pigs. Ascaris sperm contain no myosins ...
