Abstract
IN the course of an electron microscope investigation1 of spermiogenesis in the silkworm, Bombyx mori Linné, the formation of a tubular structure and two bands have been detected in the developing spermatids fixed with potassium permanganate or osmium tetroxide, which have not, to our knowledge, been reported previously from light microscopic investigations2–7. The two bands, which run parallel with the developing spermatid nuclei, were found to be of equal density when the material was fixed with osmium tetroxide, while one of them was less dense when the material was fixed with potassium permanganate.
