Fig. 3. AFM imaging of boar sperm heads with attached particles of DiIC₁₆. (A) Contact mode image to illustrate topographical features and extent of the anterior acrosome, equatorial segment and postacrosome. (B) Line-profile analysis (A-B) across two sperm heads with attached particles (labelled X and Y) on the anterior acrosomal plasma membrane. In each case a small peak, $~$ 200 nm diameter, is coincident with the position of the DiIC₁₆ particle. Bars, 2 µm in A; 1 µm in B.
