title: Description of eight phases of spermiogenesis in the marmoset testis.
abstract: The differentiation of spermatids in the marmoset (Callithrix jacchus, n = 9) testis is described here at the light-microscopic level employing serial semithin sections. The definition of 8 different phases of spermiogenesis, i.e. the formation of spermatids, is based upon the changes in the development of nucleus, acrosome and flagellum.
