Looking back and looking forward: contributions of electron microscopy to the structural cell biology of gametes and fertilization

Mammalian gametes—the sperm and the egg—represent opposite extremes of cellular organization and scale. Studying the ultrastructure of gametes is crucial to understanding their interactions, and how to manipulate them in order to either encourage or prevent their union. Here, we survey the prominent...
