FIGURE 10: Pergamasus mediocris spermatozoon sectioned obliquely through nuclear region showing nuclear material (n), chromatin granules (ch), sIBs, mitochondria (m) and ribbons (rb). Fragment of section through postnuclear region just behind the nucleus with sIBs is visible in lower right corner, whereas in upper left corner there is a fragment of postnuclear region sectioned more posteriorly, containing gIBs instead sIBs. Scale bar: 2 µm. Inset: spermatozoon in DIC with anterior end directed to the right. Scale bar: 10 µm. Abbreviations: ch – chromatin, gIB – granular inclusion body, m – mitochondrion, n – nucleus, rb – subplasmalemmal longitudinal ribbon, sIB – striated inclusion body
