Determination of capacitation status patterns

Patterns (%)Description
FFull fluorescence characteristic of ejaculated spermatozoa: characteristic of uncapacitated spermatozoa
BBanded, indicative of capacitated spermatozoa and fluorescence only in the post acrosomal region: characteristic of capacitated spermatozoa
ARSpermatozoa showing a mottled green fluorescence over head, green fluorescence only in post acrosomal region or no fluorescence on the head: typical acrosome-reacted spermatozoa
