Spermatozoa Mitochondria in Early Mouse Embryos

Image has been labeled for movie icon display.

Live cell fluorescence imaging of sperm mitochondria (red) in early embryos. Sperm mitochondria disaggregated and became restricted to only one blastomere during one-cell to four-cell stages. Sperm mitochondria distributed in several cells after the eight-cell stage and could be detected until morula stages.

Scale bars: 20 µm.
