Abstract Characteristics of spermatogonia were determined in the C57BL/6J strain mouse using high-resolution light microscopy of plastic-embedded tissues and identifying cells during stages of the spermatogenic cycle. The frequency of expecting each spermatogonial cell type was a major factor in identifying and categorizing various cell types. Although numerous characteristics were described, several major differences were noted in spermatogonial cell types. The group comprising As, Apr, and Aal spermatogonia could be differentiated based primarily on mottling of heterochromatin throughout the nucleus in the absence of heterochromatin lining the nuclear envelope. The A1 cells displayed finely granular chromatin throughout the nucleus and virtually no flakes of heterochromatin along the nuclear membrane. The A2 through A4 spermatogonia contained progressively more heterochromatin rimming the nucleus. Intermediate-type spermatogonia displayed flaky or shallow heterochromatin that completely rimmed the nucleus. Type B spermatogonia showed rounded heterochromatin periodically along the nuclear envelope. Use of gray-scale histograms allowed objective quantification of nuclear characteristics and showed a logical shift in the gray scale to a narrower and darker profile, from four cell types leading to A1 cells. The ability to differentiate spermatogonial types is a prerequisite to studying the behavior and kinetics of the earliest of the germ cell types in both normal and abnormal spermatogenesis.
