Abstract

A staining procedure with a new stain easy to prepare is described for the morphologic study of spermatozoa. The stain gives the spermatozoa a dichromatic appearance within 10 seconds (the postacromial part of the head stains blue, the middle piece and tail stain red), which facilitates the morphological classification of spermatozoa for the spermatocytogram.
