## Abstract In this study we used Triton X‐100 extracted sea urchin spermatozoa to investigate the mechanical behavior of the basic 9+2 axoneme. The dynein motors were disabled by vanadate so that the flagellum is rendered a passive structure. We find that when a proximal portion of the flagellum i

## Abstract Univalent antisperm antibodies (IF ab) markedly inhibited the fertilizing capacity of sperm when tested on intact, dejellied, and β€œdemembranated” __Arbacia punctulata__ eggs.

The movement parameters of a sea urchin sperm flagellum can be manipulated mechanically by applying various modes of periodic vibrations to the sperm head held by suction in the tip of a micropipette. The beat frequency of the flagellum readily synchronizes with the frequency of the externally impos

Self-sharpening of a thin tungsten electrode occurs in single, high-current discharge. This phenomenon has been observed with a custom-made, high-speed imaging system. The system allowed us to take one hundred images of the electrode shape during and after the discharge with 16 ΞΌs intervals. The fol
