Figure legend
Fig. 3. Centriolar complex of elongating mouse spermatids. A: A section passing longitudinally through the proximal and the distal centrioles. B: A grazing section passing through the cap region of the centriolar adjunct. The centriolar complex of an elongating spermatid consists of a pair of centrioles displaced in an orthogonal orientation in the neck region (A). The distal centriole extends into an axoneme whereas the proximal centriole forms a microtubular adjunct. The tip of the adjunct is capped with a fibrous material (B), which radiates an aster of microtubules (arrows in B, see also Fig. 2C). DC, distal centriole; PC, proximal centriole; Adj, adjunct; Axn, axoneme; Acs, acrosome; N, nucleus; M, manchette. Bars ϭ 0.5 μm.
