Description
Abnormal sperm cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of an abnormal sperm cell showing a 'hockey stick' appearance due to residual cytoplasm. All men have deformed sperm in their ejaculate, but an overabundance of them can mean that the man is infertile. Also, as men age the number of abnormal sperm cells they produce increases. Magnification: x5000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide.
