CTC acrosomal fluorescent patterns. Representative pictures of three specific CTC acrosomal fluorescent patterns. (A) Uncapacitated, acrosome intact sperm - bright fluorescence over the entire sperm head and positive mid-piece of the tail; (B) Capacitated, acrosome-intact sperm - prominent fluorescent positive equatorial segment and mid-piece of the tail, fluorescence-free (dark) band in the post-acrosomal region; (C) Acrosome-reacted sperm - low fluorescent signal throughout the sperm head, with a remaining positive signal in the equatorial segment and mid-piece.
