TLDR
A study of the ultrastructure of the spermathecae and their ducts in Aedes aegypti revealed two principal cell types: (i) epithelial cells which surround the cuticular shell ofThe sperMatheca and thecuticular lining of theSpermat hecal duct, and (ii) glandular cells which are associated with the s permatheca.About:

A light and electron microscopical study of the spermathecae and ventral receptacle of Anastrepha suspensa (Diptera: Tephritidae) and implications in female influence of sperm storage.
Ann H. Fritz,F.R Turner +1 more
TL;DR: The independent organization of sperm storage organs, spermathecal ducts, associated musculature, gland cells, and innervation offer possible mechanisms by which sperm movement may be influenced by females.

THE USE OF LEAD CITRATE AT HIGH pH AS AN ELECTRON-OPAQUE STAIN IN ELECTRON MICROSCOPY
TL;DR: The stain reported here differs from previous alkaline lead stains in that the chelating agent, citrate, is in sufficient excess to sequester all lead present, and is less likely to contaminate sections.

Improvements in epoxy resin embedding methods.
TL;DR: Epoxy embedding methods of Glauert and Kushida have been modified so as to yield rapid, reproducible, and convenientembedding methods for electron microscopy.

Effects of Varying the Vehicle for OsO4 in Tissue Fixation
TL;DR: Differences in the quality of OsO4 fixation of tissue cells obtained with any one of the several recommended mixtures may be referable to structural or compositional variations associated with functional changes, but in most instances the differences seem more properly considered as products of fixation.

Permanganate—A New Fixative for Electron Microscopy
TL;DR: Besides preserving fine structure, permanganate fixation enhances tissue density and provides remarkable preservation of many cell components at the electron microscope level, as the following plates illustrate.
