Thus, this study aimed to employ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and focused ion beam\/scanning electron microscopy (FIB\/SEM) tomography to fill this research gap. Male mice aged 13 weeks were deeply anesthetized, and the testes and vas deferens were extracted and processed for electron microscopy. In round spermatids, the acrosomal vesicle compressed the nucleus, and the acrosomal center was depressed. The nucleoli concentrated on the contralateral side of the acrosome formation site. In mature spermatozoa, the RNE accumulated in the neck with the residual bodies. The NE pores exhibited a hexagonal pattern. The body surface area and volume of the nuclei of spermatids and spermatozoa in each maturation phase were analyzed using FIB\/SEM tomography. The body surface area and volume of the nuclei decreased during spermatid maturation into spermatozoa. The RNE converged at the sperm neck and possessed a honeycomb structure. The method used revealed that the nuclei of spermatids gradually condense as they mature into spermatozoa. This method may be used to analyze small tissues, such as RNE, and detect morphological abnormalities in microtissues, such as spermatozoa.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/micmic\/ozad003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,10]],"date-time":"2023-02-10T18:23:47Z","timestamp":1676053427000},"page":"832-840","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Three-Dimensional
