	As we approach the three hundredth anniversary of the discovery of the spermatozoon (1677) it seems timely to review what we know of the structure of this fascinating cell. Perhaps no better example could be found of the slow beginnings of biological science and of the rapid recent acceleration in the tempo of discovery resulting from advances in instrumentation.
