摘要
Although round spermatids have been studied extensively using staining techniques and electron microscopy, little information is available about their appearance in living conditions. We describe a method of collecting and identifying round spermatids from ejaculates and testicular biopsies. The validity of the selection procedure was confirmed, by fluorescence in-situ hybridization. Based on cell size, morphological characteristics of nucleus and cytoplasm, and on the nucleus/cytoplasm ratio, we harvested a population of cells that was 84% haploid. This procedure can be applied to select spermatids for clinical or research purposes.
