| Method |
Spermatozoon surface area was measured by micrometric methods and was also measured from electron micrographs using a stereological method. Micrometric methods gave surface area above. Stereology methods gave surface area of 106.5μm^2. Sperm volumes were estimated by stereology and by radiolabel volume exclusion methods.
