Testis and epididymis from mature rabbits have been examined by electron microscopy in thin sections in order to examine spermiogenesis of the rabbit. The rabbit spermiogenesis could be divided into four main phases: Golgi, cap, acrosome and maturation, and these phases further subdivided into a total of nine stages. Golgi bodies surrounding acrosomal vesicles were observed until early cap stage, while proximal centriole was emerged in the early acrosome stage. During the acrosome phase, the proximal nuclear ring composed of finely granular electron dense matter was found between the posterior part of the acrosome and the proximal end of the manchette. It is C-shaped in cross sections.
