Fig 2. Histological appearance of immature lamb testis tissue exposed to one of three conditions.

Fig 2

(A) control (fresh), (B) slow freezing and then thawing or (C) vitrification and then thawing (400x). Inset in each panel depicts the seminiferous cords (SC) at a higher magnification. Slow freezing preserved normal SC integrity similar to the fresh control, whereas vitrification caused disruptions, including evidence of shrinkage around the SC (*). G = gonocyte, S = Sertoli cell, M = peritubular myoid cell. Scale bar = 100 μm.
