(a) Seminiferous tubules containing various residual spermatids and entotic vesicles (white arrow) in the ad-lumen, spermatogonia and Sertoli cell at the basement membrane. (b-c) Interstitium consists Leydig cell, Telocyte, fibroblast and capillary. The higher magnification illustrates the contact between the different cells (a,b,c).
