Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been used to study the morphology of mammalian spermatozoa (Dott, 1969; Fujita, Miyoshi & Tokunaga, 1970; Luse, 1970; Zaneveld, Gould, Humphreys & Williams, 1971), ova (Gould, Zaneveld, Humphreys & Williams, 1971) and cilia (Barber & Boyde, 1968), as well as tissue organization of uterine epithelium during delayed implantation (Psychoyos & Mandon, 1971) and cervical neoplasia (Jordan & Williams, 1971). The purpose of this study was to observe the morphology and tissue organization of ciliated and secretory epithelium in the female reproductive tract.

The reproductive tracts of four adult female crab-eating macaque, Macaca fascicularis, and six adult female New Zealand rabbits were dissected 3 hr post coitum, with or without fixation in vivo with 2% glutaraldehyde (Reinius & Nilsson, 1969). Tissue specimens were pinned

Reproduction is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.

The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
