A cryofracture technique for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was developed to provide an ultrastructural assessment of large numbers of chimpanzee sperm from a single centrifuged pellet. Normal spermatozoon observed in an analytical SEM at high magnification were used to determine the suitability of this technique for preserving the ultrastructural features of many sperm fractured through different regions. Although transmission electron microscopy (TEM) provides fine ultrastructural imaging of primate spermatozoon, this imaging mode does not provide large numbers of sperm in a single sample which can be rapidly scanned for profiles of ultrastructural abnormalities useful in infertility screening.
