The relative viability of human spermatozoa
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 May 2009
Extract
A heterogeneous sample consisting of eighteen specimens of semen provided by eleven patients was examined. Smears were supravitally stained at 3, 8 and 27 hr. Counts of living and dead spermatozoa, classified into normal and fourteen types of abnormal forms, showed that whereas five abnormal forms were always dead, the remaining types showed varying proportions of dead and living cells. Their rate of mortality was somewhat greater than that of normal spermatozoa.
